I am currently working with a 1600 cisco router. It keeps creating a large arp cache of invalid intries to int e1. I have no ip proxy enabled. Any ideas?
 
Can you shutdown the E1 WAN port? Is there anything connected to this port? I suspect the router will learn any
addresses that enter that port.

This is the current setup
Below are a show run and show ARP from the router.

_________________________________________________
The only address actually assigned to the interface is 68.x.x.x, the .194 and .195 are examples of bogus entries.
The .200 is the Firewall, the .201 and .202 are defined 1 to 1 nat addresses, and the ARP entries are legitamate as the firewall should forward the traffic. If I keep defining nat addresses the ARP will keep filling up in sequence until it overlaps at .200

Other behavior, Ping is working through the router, but other services, such as our Radmin ap that runs on port 4899, is not. This may be my own misconfiguring though, and not related to the ARP problem.

Outbound everything works fine.
