The offender could be another physical NIC or an alias of another NIC (e.g. "eth0:0"). Another possibility is that you have a bond running (two NICs set up as either a failover pair or an aggregate). If the system fails over from one NIC to the other one (or if it switches when load sharing), an ARP may be sent--depending on the bond type. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting [email protected] - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "Microsoft is a cross between The Borg and the Ferengi. - - Unfortunately they use Borg to do their marketing and Ferengi to - - do their programming." -- Simon Slavin - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-install-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: [email protected] Subject: unsubscribe
