Hi guys,
I noticed that from last week, I am getting practically every minute or less, a log message like this in ASR log:

----------------------------------------------
Is there a chance I can somehow pinpoint the interface/source of ARPs, so I can see what to do about it?
I have plenty of interfaces (physical and BDIs) so trying to find some "easy" way to find the guilty one!
Any other kind of help/suggestion/proposal is more than welcome!
Thank you all in advance!
