Can this ARPing be stopped?

PeterUK

With FLEX H it tries to ARP on a WAN interface outside the given IP WAN it should not be needed to be done and my ISP does ignore them but best not to have them sent out also ARP broadcast when doing ping check ever 5 seconds plus more if you do another ping check rule in routing it would be best to only do a ARP broadcast when ping does not get a reply.

Note Cisco MAC is my ISP and GigaByteTech is my MAC set in FLEX H

Is their a SSH command that can stop this please thanks

Hi @PeterUK,

Our engineer wants to check this symptom via CLI. Could you allow SSH for the remote access policy rule so we can use the domain you have provided to access? Thanks!

So did see why this is a problem? it also happen on the FLEX 200 non H the more routing rules you have like this.

The worse and more ARP happens

My take on ARP is on finding IP within the subnet that has not been looked up is of course broadcast ARP then from then on every 30-60 seconds random do a unicast ARP and if that fails back to broadcast ARP then with Zyxel doing ping checks it uses that stored ARP for the gateway or IP in subnet to send ping but if ping fails on timeout then do broadcast ARP for the gateway or IP in subnet.
