Supressing "arp moved" messages on system logs
-
Hi again,
My pfsense server is taking form, soon I'll capable of saying "its working!". ;DI have some central servers working with interface bonding. They have several services, specially DNS and FreeRadius. After configuring them, I see several messages like those in my system log:
May 20 15:05:40 kernel: arp: 10.4.0.17 moved from 00:2b:2b:fd:47:b6 to 00:2b:2b:fd:47:b4 on hn0
May 20 15:05:42 kernel: arp: 10.4.0.17 moved from 00:2b:2b:fd:47:b4 to 00:2b:2b:fd:47:b6 on hn0
May 20 15:05:49 kernel: arp: 10.4.0.17 moved from 00:2b:2b:fd:47:b6 to 00:2b:2b:fd:47:b4 on hn0
May 20 15:05:51 kernel: arp: 10.4.0.17 moved from 00:2b:2b:fd:47:b4 to 00:2b:2b:fd:47:b6 on hn0I saw that in "System > Advanced > Networking" I can "Supress ARP Messages", which I believe will disable the messages. But, can I disable it just for this server?
The case is that I expect this to happen, as this is a multi-interface server with bonding enabled. But I still wanted to know if this happens with a normal server…

This is often seen with Apple products that attempt to "save" an IP address for a device that's hibernating.
There was a thread with similar issues: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=57837.msg309137#msg309137.
This is all assuming you don't actually have something nasty on your network trying to use an existing address…...

Thanks for the reply.
Although the same messages appear, the case isn't similar; here, I have a Linux server with bonding interfaces (equivalent to NIC Teaming on Windows). It is expected (and somewhat desired) that it alternates on the bound interfaces to achieve load balance. So, I want that this server don't get logged.
But I don't want to entirely disable this checking; if two workstations start conflicting their IP address, I'll want them logged.

Well no such option exists. Either you get it logged or not.

Bonding interfaces that share the same IP but different MAC addresses is a hack. It may work, but it's undefined operations. There are proper MAC layer protocols that can do this sort of stuff. SMB3.1 supports bonding multiple interfaces with different IP addresses.

Well no such option exists. Either you get it logged or not.
Well, "no solution" is a a solution. I'll check if I can reconfigure the server to always use the same physical interface to serve the same machine; this may stop the MAC flapping to pfsense.

I often encounter this problem arp,Finally I use forced dhcp resolved.
client must re get new ip and obtain IP via DHCP,Secretly setting is can't use Internet.packets will not be sent to pfsense
cisco switch–>Try cisco DAI+DHCP Snooping
ruckus controller-->enable option:"Enable Force DHCP,disconnect client if client does not obtain valid IP in XX seconds"
