Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2000 01:36:36 -0800 From: Rahul Dhesi Message-Id: <20000203093637.5F5013FF11@bolero.rahul.net> Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This is a question for the experts. Using 3.4-STABLE from a couple of weeks ago. Is there any way to disable arp replies? Such that an incoming arp request looking for our IP address would be ignored by us? I do want to keep outgoing arp active, so we can still send arp requests when we need to find some other host's MAC address, and hear the replies. BTW, 'ifconfig de0 -arp' results in the interface appearing as NOARP, but arp still seems to happen normally. I wonder if it's a bug.
