Vera Acting as Router

Vera is set up on my wired network as a switch and has worked fine for a year or so. Recently I noticed my iMac is reporting that the Roueter it is attached to is the same IP address as Vera and the IP address is ver strange. Anyone else seeing similar behavior?

can you provide more detail
What are the IPs
is vera connected in client mode

Vera is, and has always been set up as a switch, or to use exact Vera vernacular:

“Through another gateway on my network. Vera is a switch”

The IP address of Vera on my network is 10.0.1.8. What appears to be happening is that even though Vera is set this way it is somehow providing a DHCP service, as my Mac, until I forced otherwise, was picking up 10.0.1.8 as a Router, and getting an assigned IP address of 10.0.1.245 (which is outside the range of assigned IP addresses by my Router, an Apple Airport Extreme, which is set to assign addresses up to 10.0.1.200).
