    If you just want those messages not to appear in the log add the system tunable "net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_movements" and set its value to 0.

      @joako:

      If we disable the sleep proxy "feature" on all the MACs will the errors go away?

      No. The issue is with the TC and AE, not the Macs, and you can't disable that feature on them.

      I actually think the Suppress ARP messages setting will do it as well. If memory serves I didn't add a manual tunable.

      I can break anything.

        Yes it sets the same tunable and also net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface="0" .

          This is happening on my Home Server as well.. I have 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports that are teamed to a single connection.

          Feb 5 12:33:22

          kernel: arp: 10.1.1.5 moved from 00:e0:81:ba:57:c4 to 00:e0:81:ba:57:c5 on em0

          kernel: arp: 10.1.1.5 moved from 00:e0:81:ba:57:c5 to 00:e0:81:ba:57:c4 on em0

          Will this create an issue? It seems to be working ok

            That's a different scenario, that's what you see when using certain types of NIC bonding. It's fine.

              I don't have any Time Capsule or Airport Express. Only Apple TV, 2x MacBook that are here sometimes and probably a few PCs with iTunes installed, if that matters.

              But I still get the errors in the pfSense log.

                You don't need either of those, anything with the sleep proxy does it.

                    Most often, no. It can be. Some of them will translate the source MAC, which if someone roams from one wifi repeater to another will generate this kind of log.

                      if so then wouldnt it cause issues with internet drops when a static dhcp lease is set with static arp for a client wifi mac id

                        It shouldn't. The DHCP requests should be relayed so the DHCP server still gets the client's actual MAC. Otherwise only one client behind the repeater would work on DHCP.
