# sysctl net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface=1

should mask the messages.

Shouldn't that be net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements ?


myriad# sysctl -d net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements
net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements: log arp replies from MACs different than the one in the cache


I get these messages about 10/day on an interface that's connected to a cable modem network (Blueyonder in the UK).

I've just set this sysctl to see if it stops these messages for me.
