DIsabling arp means, among other things, that if your network link goes idle for long enough, you won't be able to talk to your router any more. And if you have any local machines on the same network, they too will be unreachable when the existing arp entry times out.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">*Batch* arp would be an optimization at the driver level. If it's exposed in ifconfig at all, it would probably be under mediaopt; but Apple doesn't include the device specific manpages, at least on 10.9, so no idea how it shows up. And in any case, ifconfig won't cause your hardware to return a useful configuration value for it if it's reporting garbage.<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates</div><div><a href="mailto:allbery.b@gmail.com" target="_blank">allbery.b@gmail.com</a> <a href="mailto:ballbery@sinenomine.net" target="_blank">ballbery@sinenomine.net</a></div><div>unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad <a href="http://sinenomine.net" target="_blank">http://sinenomine.net</a></div></div></div>
