disabling arp messages on unix

good morning everybody, since we replaced our router / gateway with two routers, which do load balancing (have 2 ip's and 2 mac's but come on the LAN as 1 ip-address), my freebsd's 4.8 clients keep notifying the users that the arp for that ip address have moved from mac1 to mac2, which is...

ARP Cache

Dear all, We are testing two of our servers for mq series connectivity. The scenario is, when one machine is shutting down it's services there are some scripts that do a dns update, which removes the ip address and relates it to the ip address of the other node on our dns server, and the update...

Hi again guys, It seems this is a global thing affecting all the DNS bind versions prior to July 28 2008. I have my work cut out for me very soon, I see at least a handful of servers in my list that either need to patching or upgrading. How many of you guys are affected? Anybody successfully...

Hello, I need help on how to "access" or manipulate the Linux ARP Cache in C, here is the description of the project i'm working in: There are a lot of tools that analize ARP frames and send an e-mail to the sysadmin, that's easy. What i want to do is to inspect every ARP frame that arrives...

NAME

       arp - Address Resolution Protocol

DESCRIPTION

       ARP is a protocol used to dynamically map between DARPA Internet and hardware station addresses.  It is used by all LAN drivers.

       ARP caches Internet-to-hardware station address mappings.  When an interface requests a mapping for an address not in the cache, ARP queues
       the message that requires the mapping, and broadcasts a message on the associated network requesting the address mapping if the	encapsula-
       tion  method has been enabled for the interface.  If a response is provided, the new mapping is cached and any pending message is transmit-
       ted.  ARP queues at most one packet while waiting for a mapping request to be responded to; only the most recently  ``transmitted''  packet
       is kept.

       To  facilitate  communications with systems that do not use ARP, calls are provided to enter and delete entries in the Internet-to-hardware
       station address tables.

   Application Usage:
       Each call takes the same structure as an argument.  sets an ARP entry, gets an ARP entry, and deletes an ARP entry.   These  calls  can	be
       applied to any socket descriptor s, but only by the super-user.	The structure contains:

       The  address  family for the must be for the it must be The only flag bits that can be written are and Fibre Channel hosts only support the
       flag.  causes the entry to be permanent.  specifies that the ARP code should respond to ARP requests for the  indicated	host  coming  from
       other  machines.   This	allows	a host to act as an ARP server, which may be useful in convincing an ARP-only machine to talk to a non-ARP
       machine.

       ARP watches passively for hosts impersonating the local host (i.e., a host that responds to an ARP mapping request  for	the  local  host's
       address).

DIAGNOSTICS

       This message printed on the console screen means that
	    ARP has discovered another host on the local network that responds to mapping requests for its own Internet address.

WARNINGS

       To enable the encapsulation method, use the command (see ifconfig(1M)).
