However, it is perfectly reasonable to design a network that does those sort of things deliberately: this seems to be the case with several common DSL or Cable Modem setups nowadays. You can turn off some types of warning by: # sysctl net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface=3D0 # sysctl net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements=3D0 Use sysctl.conf(5) to have those values set automatically on reboot.
