the linux OS or the switch will not confused on this matter ... on the switch side.. it just learning the mac address passing thru to every port so that when an ethernet frame destine to this destination mac address.. it knows how to forward that ethernet frame to the proper port...switch has nothing to do with ARP communcations... host (linux OS for instance) or any networking devices with an IP address does... linux OS is not confused either.. it just so happen that linux is taking a different approach to response to an ARP request... fooler. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
