Hi,
Seeing this on 10.1-release p5.
FreeBSD ipfw-0.syd.fqdn.tld 10.1-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p5 #0
r278455: Mon Feb 9 07:18:21 UTC 2015
r...@ipfw-0.syd.fqdn.tld:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/qfkern amd64
Basically, I have a static arp entry that I cannot remove. This in
itself is not a problem. Problem is, when trying to assign that IP
address to the same interface, it says the 'address is in use' (which it
is not)
? (110.62..211.87) at 00:12:c0:88:03:8f on ix1 permanent [ethernet]
Attempting to remove the entry produces an invalid argument error.
root@ipfw-0:~ # arp -d 110.62..211.87
arp: writing to routing socket: Invalid argument
ix1 does not have this IP configured anymore either.
ix1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
media: Ethernet autoselect (10Gbase-LR <full-duplex>)

When I try to assign it back to ix1, I get this
root@ipfw-0:~ # ifconfig ix1 inet 110.62..211.87 netmask 255.255.254.0
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Address already in use
I've verified with the provider that there isn't an arp entry at present
for this IP address, so the issue seems local to freebsd.
Anyone ever see anything like this?
I'm aware rebooting will fix it, but this is a live firewall and I'd
rather not do that.
