Hi, I need to setup a static MAC address into the /proc/net/arp file, as I want the linux kernel to simulate sending a packet on a standalone test system. The arp command does not work on the kernel, has anyone tried setting it up statically?
I know the benchmarks NetperfStream etc would need to set up the arp table, but I guess that would get done automatically because they had two actual systems which had two mac addresses. I am trying to simulate only one system with its own MAC address, and I want to set a gateway MAC address so that the kernel sends the packet out at the network interface and drop it beforehand. I do not need to send the packets actually just simulate that they do from the kernel view point. Thanks, Pritha
