Yes May be only one missing line to be happy with medium_id: ip rule add prio 100 table main Explanation: I see only the table for .193 but I assume there are other similar tables, you have asymmetric routing configured when it should not be in this way. What happens: A and B are on same LAN, Host A resolves B: who-has B tell A firewall: Q: I see probe "who-has B tell A" on dev X. Where points the route from A to B? A: There is route "from A to 0/0 => Forward via DEV Y". Well, X != Y, they have different medium_id values => answer this ARP probe on DEV X. The problem is that you have routes in this order (ip rule show): from A to 0/0 => DEV Y (table A) from 0/0 to B => DEV X (table main) You need to inspect the main table first.
