System: FreeBSD xx 7.2-STABLE FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE #0: Fri Sep 11 17:52:57 MSD 2009 root at xx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/xxx90911 amd64

Any 6.x 7.x versions (o386 and amd64) of FreeBSD with CARP interfaces. at list for em* based interfaces. Possible for any.

>Description:

We have vlan interface configured:

Base:
vlan254: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
        ether 00:15:17:bb:5c:db
        inet 10.254.31.253 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.254.31.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        vlan: 254 parent interface: em1
carp:
carp254: flags=49<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> metric 0 mtu 1500
        inet 10.254.31.254 netmask 0xffffff00
        carp: MASTER vhid 35 advbase 1 advskew 10

(it will be same result if we do not use vlan, but configure on em, w/o vlans)

remote machine sent broadcars request for 10.254.31.254:
14:26:40.792991 00:22:b0:51:23:03 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 56: arp who-has 10.254.31.254 tell 10.254.31.232

and machive answered:
14:26:40.792997 00:15:17:bb:5c:db > 00:22:b0:51:23:03, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: arp reply 10.254.31.254 is-at 00:00:5e:00:01:23

As we can see this reported mac 00:00:5e:00:01:23.. but source mac for ARP REPLAY is 00:15:17:bb:5c:db, not 00:00:5e:00:01:23.

And currently I have some devices on network, who checked the SRC macs carefully and ignored such replays.

>How-To-Repeat:
  configure carp interface and ping such interface from remove machine. look for tcpdump (-e) for results

>Fix:

No known fixes.. sorry.
