Host4 send ARP requests to gateway, the MAC address replied will be
001A.A916.0201. In this way, packets sent by Host1 and Host2 for
communicating with the exterior network will be forwarded to layer-3 device A,
while packets sent by Host3 and Host4 will be forwarded to layer-3 device B,
thus achieving load balancing.
