Hello, I have a question regarding unsolicited ARPs in ipv4/arp.c As I understand, by default this feature is disabled; How can one set this feature ?
When working with ipv4_devconf.arp_accept is 0 by default. This is with 2.6.21 kernel. I wanted ipv4_devconf.arp_accept to be set to 1. I added: net.ipv4.conf.default.arp_accept = 1 net.ipv4.conf.eth0.arp_accept = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf and rebooted. I have: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/arp_accept => 1 cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/arp_accept =>1 Yet ,the printk() I added shows that ipv4_devconf.arp_accept shows 0 !! Could it be that this variable could not be set ? or is it dependent upon other things ? BTW, in newer kernel version we have IPV4_DEVCONF_ALL(ARP_ACCEPT) instead. So if anybody knows how to set this macro (instead)to be 1, it will be also fine.
