Hi,
testing http://marc.info/?t=140024539000003&r=1&w=2 further and now I
hit issue with corporate WIFI. I can connect perfectly fine to 2 of
them provided with WPA2-PSK, either with regular ifconfig or with
wpa_supplicant from packages, but the thing is that my
/var/log/messages is flooded by these messages repeating like every
3s:
/bsd: arp info overwritten for GW_IP by MAC_1 on iwn0
/bsd: arp info overwritten for GW_IP by MAC_2 on iwn0
arp -a shows only one MAC all the time and that's MAC_2 no matter if
I reboot or just reconnect to network. Info from inside about setup
of
those APs is:
There actually are 2 gateways having the same IP address GW_IP and
the mac addresses belong to them. They work as failover and also load
balacer.
Not sure if it's because of that or because of ARP flooding in
/var/log/messages, but performance of those WiFi is quite strange
like
ping replies over 20ms, a lot of web services doesn't work, takes
years to connect, some are running perfectly fine immediately and
such.
So.....
1) Is there anything I can do with ARP messages in /var/log/messages?
Nothing in man arp and some sysctl switch I found only in FreeBSD
2) Is there anything what can be tweaked from OpenBSD side to improve
general performance of WiFi connection or is it just either AP fix or
nothing?
Thanks a lot
Still trying to get much more info, but that setup must be horrible.
Trying arping results in:
30 packets sent, 60 received. Always doubled response with MAC_1 and
MAC_2
When trying to ping some of the internal servers they all have
123.123.123.123 IP which is of course totally wrong. Same if tried with
dig @GW_IP server_IP (as GW_IP is set as DNS by dhclient)
So now not so sure if it's terrible AP setup or if it's something in
ARP, dhclient, ieee80211 code in OpenBSD
