(Julian's patch)) In-Reply-To: <20010206023504.81447.richw@wyattearp.stanford.edu> Message-ID: <20010206044513.83942.richw@wyattearp.stanford.edu> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I just noticed something else weird. I did "arp -a" on my bridge, and one of the entries was for the bridge itself. In other words, the bridge had an ARP entry telling it its own hardware address (on its external, "xl0" interface, in case it matters). The superfluous ARP entry was marked as permanent, FWIW. I deleted the entry (with an "arp -d" command). This doesn't seem to have affected anything; I can still contact the bridge via either interface, and I can go through the bridge, and (so far, at least) the extraneous ARP entry has not returned. I haven't a clue as to where this ARP entry came from. I couldn't find anything in any configuration file on the bridge that might have added it explicitly. I rebooted the bridge, and the ARP entry isn't there.
