View source for Disable ARP on FreeBSD

== Introduction ==

On FreeBSD, there is an option "-arp" of ifconfig to enable or disable the use of the [[ARP]] protocol on an interface, so it's very convenient to disable ARP for [[LVS]] clusters.

== Disable ARP for VIP ==

In [[LVS/DR]] clusters, we can disable ARP for VIP on FreeBSD as follows:
 ifconfig lo0 alias VIP netmask 255.255.255.255 -arp up
