Re: Question abt arp in 5.1-RELEASE

The other devices on the Ethernet shouldn't update their ARP listings until the box sends out some kind of broadcast packet. If it doesn't do so, the other devices will time out their ARP mappings in 5 minutes. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Question abt arp in 5.1-RELEASE
Hello dear all. I've got a curious thing with FBS 5.1-RELEASE, concerning arp requests/reply. I have a LAN, connected to Internet through CISCO router. Recently I had to move one ip address inside my LAN from a 4.8 box to a 5.1 box without a reboot (ifconfig ...). After this I had discovered that CISCO continue sending packets to old MAC address (to 4.8). After an investigation of the problem I discovered, thet CISCO had not forgotten the old MAC. If ip is being moved from 4.8 box to 4.8 box this effect fanishes. Did anyone get similar problems? Is it a feature or a bug in 5.1, or I don't understand something? Great thanks in advance for any support. With respect and kind regards, Ilya V.
