Hi,
I have strange ARP behaviour here, that I can reproduce. Might be a
kernel bug.
SHORT: I can use the "arp" tool to set an ARP entry that the "arp" tool
cannot delete and that hides from "ip"'s view. I know a workaround (at
the very end of the mail).
LONG:
Use either of:
SuSE 2.4.20 kernel for 8.2 (k_athlon-2.4.20-96)
or 2.4.22-rc2-ac1
(I haven't tried any other version)
Use this tool:
$ arp -V
net-tools 1.60
arp 1.88 (2001-04-04)
+I18N
AF: (inet) +UNIX +INET +INET6 +IPX +AX25 +NETROM +X25 +ATALK -ECONET -ROSE
HW: (ether) +ETHER +ARC +SLIP +PPP +TUNNEL +TR +AX25 +NETROM +X25 +FR -ROSE -ASH +SIT +FDDI +HIPPI -HDLC/LAPB
Now type (192.168.4.4 isn't available, I would like to use it as SNAT
source):
$ arp -Ds 192.168.4.4 eth1 pub
This entry cannot be deleted:
$ arp -d 192.168.4.4
SIOCDARP(priv): Network is unreachable
(even if a route for 192.168.4.4 is set, the entry isn't removed)
$ arp -d 192.168.4.4 pub
SIOCDARP(pub): No such file or directory
Try "arp -i eth1 -d 192.168.4.4 pub"
