Dear xiwang,

I  know that this problem is cause by switch, but what I cann do is to let linux box accommodate this situation.
I have captured the packets, it shows that netgear switch just forward the same arp request without modifying anything, so the packet is totally the SAME.

Best regards, 				
Watson
