Hi. I've seen many-a-post on this list about proxy arp, but none with any
closure.
I'm upgrading a linux router from 2.0.35 (based on rh 5.1) to 2.2.14 (based
on rh6.1). Same network configuration, and it all works except the proxy
arp. My command is simple:
arp -i eth2 -Ds 192.168.1.1 eth2 pub
But the output of arp -nv puts * in the HWtype, HWaddr, and the Flags are
MP.
I know about /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/proxy_arp, but if I set that to 1, it
enables gratuitous arp, and boy did that screw up my network. Nothing like
users calling up one at a time with "I can't hit the
server/Internet/printer!" Time to re-read BOFH ; )
It was bad enough that proxy arp for subnets was disabled, but please don't
tell me that all proxy arp is broken?
Any solution would be great!!! Thank you all so much.
