log messages

[infinitatus]

Hello, I have a FreeNAS running with transmission plugin and 3 datasets. 2 of them are CIFS shares with local user authentication. only one user is authorized and he hasn´t a home directory. Besides CIFS, only SSH is activated.
The system is running fine.

The only thing I notice are some log messages which I don´t know to what they are refering to:

avahi-daemon invalid response packet from host x.x.x.x. I thought that it a CIFS problem was. But it seem also responding on logging on the webinterface or ssh (but I am not 100% sure).

Second thing is this:

freenas.local kernel log messages:
+++ /tmp/security.T3QVSVcz 2013-01-13 03:01:00.000000000 +0100
+arp: 10.0.x.x moved from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx to yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy on re0

It looks like he is moving/changing mac adress of my network interface?

Gonna give this a kick. Can´t find anywhere on the internet why it is giving these log messages

What is that 10.0.x.x IP?

It really looks like you have 2 computers with the same IP?

Did you give your jail the same IP of your freenas or other machine in the network?

10.0.x.x is the ip of my client on the network. Jail has another ip, which is unique. Freenas of course has another ip too. No client, not the FREENAS server, neither the jail has the same ip. To me it looks like this client (ip 10.0.x.x with mac address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) gets in the freenas server another mac address. I don´t know why.
I just checked the DHCP list of my router and there are no problems with 2 clients getting the same ip.

I'm seeing tons of these messages in the daily emails.
+arp: 10.0.x.x moved from 00:13:3a:xx:xx:xx to 00:10:f3:xx:xx:xx on bce0
+arp: 10.0.x.x moved from 00:10:f3:xx:xx:xx to 00:13:3a:xx:xx:xx on bce0
+arp: 10.0.x.x moved from 00:13:3a:xx:xx:xx to 00:10:f3:xx:xx:xx on bce0
+arp: 10.0.x.x moved from 00:10:f3:xx:xx:xx to 00:13:3a:xx:xx:xx on bce0

I'm not using jails. one of the mac addresses is my dhcp server. the other is a client that gets its address handed to him from said dhcp server. The 10.0.x.x address in question is not within the dynamic range the dhcp server will assign to clients.

Still looking into this and I'll post back if i find something. I'm hoping someone else out there has seen this behavior and can point out some places to look.

I'm having the same issue. No sure how the mac address can change on an interface. Maybe the switch is changing the mac address to reflect the best available path to a host. I have a cisco SG300-20 with 6 vlans. The port switch is set to access vlan 1. Vlan 1 is my management vlan and also is my internal network.

Any ideas.
