| AdNauseum ARP who-has requests
got a verizon westell 7500 modem/router. Can someone tell me how to stop these requests? My mask is 255.255.255.252. I have turned off dhcp. Yet they keep on coming.
16:09:21.617232 ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 192.168.1.99 tell 192.168.1.1, length 46
16:09:22.622227 ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 192.168.1.100 tell 192.168.1.1, length 46
16:09:23.627244 ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 192.168.1.101 tell 192.168.1.1, length 46
16:09:24.632225 ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 4), Request who-has 192.168.1.102 tell 192.168.1.1, length 46

kudos:7 | Westell modems poll the LAN to see what is there. I don't think there's a way of turning it off.

| how about just slowing it down - like a scan every 10 min
Even so, the net mask suggests that there only 2 possible addresses on the network.. It continues to who-has for 256 addresses.
There is just no pause. |

Go to the westell My Network page
You should find a Reset Device List and a Disable Scanning button
Are you sure the westell arps the entire subnet......I think it just uses arp for any dhcp client that has obtained a lease |

| I'm not sure what the net is? if I set a /31 mask, it still believes it is on a /24 mask. There are only 2 computers in that network ( 192.168.1.1, and 192.168.1.2 ). It tries all ip addresses in 192.168.1/24
Thanks for the pointer to the button. |
