Hi all The background is I have around 100pcs router-like products. they all have a fixed IP address 192.168.1.100 and of course different MAC address. I need to connect them one by one to configure. The trouble is while I disconnect one unit and change to another unit, the FreeBSD can not recognize the unit immediately. It need around more than 10 minutes to ping 192.168.1.200 successfully. I can refresh it by "ifconfig ue0 down" and "ifconfig ue0 up", it works but I think the way is not smart. I guess there is something like buffer to record IP and MAC pair has to be cleaned. Could anybody advise? -- with kind regards
