Re: 6.0 + intel em + mysterious gratuitous ARPs

Hi,

I am running the 6.0 release on a supermicro 5015M-MF motherboard
with intel's 82573v dual gigE. by default only one of the two
ports are detected, although i was able to get both to work following
the advice here
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=94281

the real puzzling thing is that em0 would send out a gratuitous arp
every 2 seconds with the IP address of 192.168.0.18 even though I
configured it to have a completely different IP address, 10.10.10.252.
also, i was only able to see these arp messages on a machine that
is directly connected to em0. tcpdump on em0 doesnt show any
of the arp packets.



you have IPMI turned on.
the microntroller on the motherboard that controls such things
as remote power control, is doing the arps..


I searched my /etc and also the kernel source tree, and this
particular ip is nowhere to be found. Is the card doing this crazy
thing all by itself??

Thanks!

Cheng
