Annoying gratuitous ARPs

Tue Feb 02, 2021 7:11 am

Up to 1.5.7rc2, all Netonix switches send 3 gratuitous ARPs every 11 seconds. This generates useless broadcast traffic, that in a large wireless network with many Netonix can be very annoying.

Please, send gratuitous ARPs only on boot, or give us an option to disable the periodic ones.

Thanks.

Hopefully this will be added in an upcoming release...

Maybe Stephen can provide a status update?

Should be each time an ip address is set including at boot. Also, it should be send when a port come up through this port but not sure if applicable to switch.
