RE: Arp cache needs clearing or machine stops responding

2003-08-28 Thread Brent Wiese
Does it strike anyone else as odd that this would need to be done?

Could this be an indication of ARP slamming, a trick to force a switch to
transmit everything over all ports (like a hub) so a packet sniffer could be
snatching bad things off the wire?

 Does any one know where to find the arp cache? Mine keeps 
 telling me it needs flushed. Where is it? HELP

To flush the ARP cache:

arp -d -a

(must be done as root)

Arp cache needs clearing or machine stops responding

2003-03-31 Thread Ray Seals
I have a FreeBSD 5.0 box running IPFW in the OPEN configuration mode. 
Using natd to hide my inside addresses.  The Internet connection will
work fine for about 5 minutes and then stop.  When I mean stop, the
internal interface will allow me to ssh to it but when I try to ping
something on the Internet, no response.  The only way to get it to work
again is to clear the arp cache for the default gateway entry. 
Currently I have a cron job setup to clear it every minute.  

Any ideas on why this would happen?
