=================== BUG #551: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=551&group_id=68
Submitted by: ud3 Project: grub Submitted on: 2002-Jun-05 17:07 Category: Network Severity: Major Priority: None Bug Group: Software Error Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Release: 0.93 Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: Summary: ifconfig command does not flush ARP cache Original Submission: The ifconfig function does not flush the entries in the ARP cache when it changes the server's or the gateway's IP address. The sequence tftpserver 1.1.1.1 module (nd)/foo tftpserver 2.2.2.2 module (nd)/bar will result in the TFTP request for /bar being sent to 2.2.2.2 at 1.1.1.1's MAC address. The patch below fixes this problem by invalidating (zeroing) the respective ARP cache entry when changing the gateway or server IP. An ARP request will be issued on next use of the IP, installing the correct MAC address.
