Mikrotik makeing constant unceasing broadcasts.

Wed Jan 14, 2009 4:14 pm

I have a wireless bridge setup between two Mikrotiks using 2 aggregated WDS connections. The bridge works wonderfully however one of the bridges seem to be talking allot. I used wireshark to get a better idea. It seems it is furiously broadcasting:

Routerbo_(Mac Address) Broadcast ARP Who has 192.168.1.13 Tell 0.0.0.0

It's broadcasting this about 20 times a second. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Maybe you have a loop somewhere in your bridged network.

the 192.168.1.13 is the ip address of the other wireless router, it is an arp monitor for the aggregated bridge. I don't think it's a loop, otherwise I'd be seeing several other packets doing the same thing.
