Depends on what the arps are for. On my network router (which is running 5.3), I noticed a lot of ARP messages that were not as a result of any configuration errors and was able to put a stop to it by using this control variable in sysctl: net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface=0 Further information can be found here, which is where I tracked down the above sysctl line: http://www.freebsdhowtos.com/102.html Maybe that will help :-) Ray At 10:44 AM 3/16/2005 +0200, Danny Braniss wrote: | While debuging something else, im noticing my host sending out | 'Gratuitous ARP' serveral times per second all the time. | Q: is this normal? | | btw, the host is running 5.3 and the ethernet hardware is | <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection, Version - 1.7.35> | thanks, | danny | | | _______________________________________________ | freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list | http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net | To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" | |
