ARP mode reply-only lock

Wed Nov 18, 2009 3:05 pm

Hi people,

I have three MK running on my network as access points. I have two running for more than 2 years with no problem. I recently bought a Routerboard (the other ones run in a Alix) and I want to move my network to use DHCP server on the APs.

So, for this new AP running on a Routerboard I configured a DHCP server and the arp to reply-only in the wireless interface. My problem is that sometimes the customers get frozen, they loose access. Sometimes I resolve the problem rebooting the AP, but today it didn't work. So, today I setted the interface to arp=enabled and it immediately fixed the problem. After that, I moved it back to arp=reply-only and rebooted and it came back to normal until I don't know when.

Is there any problem using Hotspot + DHCP server (adding ARP entries) + proxy + radius altogether ?
Can someone take a look on my config below and check if I did a mistake or mix things ?

Re: ARP mode reply-only lock

Yeah, there must be a problem with the arp=reply-only mode. I changed to arp=enabled and everything is working for 3 days now.

Is there anyone using arp=reply-only with success ?

Thanks
