      Hi,
      We are a Virtual machine, in a network segment, and the pfsense ARP table is changing continuously of MAC address learned from this VM.
      It has only a network interface, and the ip address are not duplicate.

      Dec 5 15:02:34 kernel arp: 10.10.0.10 moved from 00:50:56:b5:a6:c3 to 00:50:56:b5:f8:80 on em2
      Dec 5 15:00:33 kernel arp: 10.10.0.10 moved from 00:50:56:b5:f8:80 to 00:50:56:b5:a6:c3 on em2
      Dec 5 14:40:37 kernel arp: 10.10.0.10 moved from 00:50:56:b5:f8:80 to 00:50:56:b5:a6:c3 on em2
      Dec 5 14:20:41 kernel arp: 10.10.0.10 moved from 00:50:56:b5:a6:c3 to 00:50:56:b5:f8:80 on em2

        That error can only happen from two different MAC addresses attempting to use the same address. It could be an IP conflict, or it could be a windows VM doing NIC teaming. Both of those are VMware MACs, track down which VMs they belong to and find out what is happening.

          Hello
          Completely true, IP duplicated in the LAN segment.

          Thank you so much.
