DSL bridged: Lots of MAC addresses in ARP table

Hi all,

I am having a problem with my DSL line in bridged mode. It all works fine, but after a while my C837 dies on me.

When I checked the arp table, I discovered it's huge! It never stops growing and then the router hangs.

Is there something wrong with my config:

interface Ethernet0

description Internal LAN

ip address 192.168.32.1 255.255.255.0

no ip redirects

ip nat inside

hold-queue 100 out

!

interface ATM0

no ip address

no atm ilmi-keepalive

pvc 0/34

encapsulation aal5snap

!

dsl operating-mode auto

bridge-group 1

bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled

!

interface FastEthernet1

no ip address

duplex auto

speed auto

!

!

interface BVI1

description Tiscali Internet

mac-address 0025.6543.5268

ip address dhcp

ip access-group 110 in

no ip redirects

ip nat outside

ip inspect firewall out

no ip mroute-cache

arp timeout 20

!

!

bridge 1 protocol ieee

bridge 1 route ip

bridge 1 address 0032.8660.b671 discard

My arp output:

router#sh arp

Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface

Internet 71.111.92.116 0 000e.0000.0001 ARPA BVI1

Internet 86.72.93.67 0 000e.0000.0001 ARPA BVI1

Internet 219.237.138.189 0 000e.0000.0001 ARPA BVI1

Internet 68.54.19.96 0 000e.0000.0001 ARPA BVI1

Etc.

I put "arp timeout 20" in the BVI interface but this does not seem to help that much.

IOS level is: c837-k9o3y6-mz.123-2.XC2.bin

Any suggestions are welcome how I can prevent the huge number of MAC entries.

Thanks,

Rene

Hi Rene ,

Try with the following command under interface BVI1.

no ip proxy-arp

Check the arp entries after configuring this command.

do you have any default route configured on the router.

Thanks,
