kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 10.6.10.240

[Özkan KIRIK]

Thanks for fast reply,

version of source file:   src/sys/net/if.c,v 1.359.2.23 2010/07/30
21:58:35   but problem still occurs.


#arp -an | grep 10.0.16.251
? (10.0.16.251) at 00:21:5e:56:83:76 on bce0.116 expires in 1131 seconds [vlan]

# ifconfig bce0.116
bce0.116: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=103<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,TSO4>

        inet 1.1.31.254 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 1.1.31.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseSX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        vlan: 116 parent interface: bce0

interface has own IP & mask. I dont understand why this error occurs
altough this IP address exists in arp table.
This message ( kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for
10.0.16.251 ) repeats too frequently. ( nearly once per 10 seconds. )
