Hello,
I've run into an odd problem on an 8.1 amd64 box (still running GENERIC)
with aliases on the em interface.
Config is very simple:
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
ether 00:14:22:b1:54:18
inet 10.3.2.233 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.3.2.255
inet 10.3.2.234 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 10.3.2.234
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
One main IP and one alias.
The main IP is not giving me any issues, but the alias seems to fall off
the network after about 20 minutes or so. Connectivity just drops. I'd
initially thought something else had that IP, but that's not the case.
Here's what another box sees before the problem starts:
? (10.3.2.233) at 00:14:22:b1:54:18 on sis0 [ethernet]
? (10.3.2.234) at 00:14:22:b1:54:18 on sis0 [ethernet]
And then after:
? (10.3.2.233) at 00:14:22:b1:54:18 on sis0 [ethernet]
? (10.3.2.234) at 00:14:22:b1:54:1a on sis0 [ethernet]
Note that the MAC for alias has changed... I'm seeing no "xx.xx.xx is
using my IP" and I also know I've only got one other box with an em
interface in the entire place and it's MAC is 00:30:48:28:87:16.
All the other hosts log this:
Aug 16 03:02:50 media kernel: arp: 10.3.2.234 moved from 00:14:22:b1:54:18
to 00:14:22:b1:54:1a on em0
Deleting and re-adding the alias works for a bit, then this happens again.
Any ideas?
pciconf and dmesg snippet below.
Thanks,
Charles
