Hi, Chee.

Try "no keepalive" on the ethernet interface. Remember, though, that this
might also have to be done on other interfaces on the physical net if they
are expecting to see it. One example might be a Cisco router talking to a
Cisco switch port.

I've also noticed some CRC errors (in rare cases) on trunking interfaces
when the keepalive is used. You could disable the keepalives in that case to
keep the counters clean.

Hi,

I have been looking at the sniffer output and found that my router keeps
sending out a "LOOPBACK" packet whose source and dest mac address is the
router interface itself.  It is sent periodically at 10 sec interval.  Any
way to turn this off?

Sorry that it is not a study question.

Cheers,
Chee Leong
