ARP problem with routeros 6rc6

Sun Dec 30, 2012 7:10 pm

Dear, asked about some problems that occur on an update of routeros on x86, the first ethernet interface is active when arp = reply-only, at times traffic stops working completely, and sometimes does on some ip, when I put arp = enabled, is solved. The network card is: 82574L Gigabit Network Connection (rev: 0), two ports.

Also in ip-firewall-connections, the connections do not appear as often appeared in version 5.

Waiting for a solution, I wish you a good new year.

arp=reply-only will only answer to entries in ARP list, and no new dynamic entries are going to be added. If entry times out - to that mac address responses will stop.

Also, changing setting will interrupt packet flow for few seconds.

Is it possible that arp mode reply-only is not working in v6rc6? I have exported the configuration of a RouterOS with v5.20 which is working perfectly with some VLAN interfaces configured as reply-only mode (and ARP entries added statically for these VLANs), however when I export this configuration to a new Cloud Core Router (with v6 rc6), everything works fine except for the VLAN interface set as arp reply-only (althought static ARP entries are added). If I set the VLAN as arp enabled, it works but this is a security fault in my system; I would like it to work with ARP reply-only, as it was working on v5.20

Any news about this? Thank you!

Good news! At first sight, it seems that the problem is solved in v6.0rc7 :)
