>Environment:
System: FreeBSD D00015.dialonly.kemerovo.su 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #1: Tue Mar 26 19:19:56 KRAT 2002 eu@D00015.dialonly.kemerovo.su:/usr/local/obj/usr/local/src/sys/DADV i386
>Description:
FreeBSD currently handles flag NOARP for network interface
in the way that completely disables ARP for that interface.
It's often too strict for real world operations. Sometimes
we just want ARP table to be protected from modification
via public interface but host must respond to ARP queries
for its own MAC address. So, this host will cooperate with
known hosts only (using preloaded ARP table), can act as gateway
for them and those hosts are not forced to have static ARP
records themselves. The patches implementing such behavour
float around for long time. Here is an adaptaion of one such patch
for 4.5-STABLE. It introcudes new sysctl named
net.link.ether.inet.strict_noarp with default value of 1.
This value correspondes to current meaning of IFF_NOARP.
One can change it to 0 to enable host replies to ARP queries;
the ARP table is still protected from modifications
via interfces marked as NOARP.
>How-To-Repeat:
There is no problem, see above.
>Fix:
Apply this patch.
