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?

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?
