Greetings,
A couple yrs ago I switched to using a cable modem for my upstream to the internet at home. My home
net consists of ~6-8 computers behind a 16 port unmanaged gigabit switch (tp-link TL-SG1016D). I got
a block of 9 static IP's from the cable co. They're all assigned to the comps behind the switch, and 1 to
the cable modem. But I'm always seeing the following in /var/messages
ww.xx.yy.zz moved from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy on <nic driver name><device number>
I might expect this from a router; given the IP's are technically assigned to the cable modem. But
not from a switch.
What's wrong? Should I add staticarp? How can I better diagnose why?
Thanks!
