Hi,

One of our customers Watchguard firewalls appears to be responding to ARP broadcasts with it's own MAC address on the trusted network. This is causing major problems on the LAN. I am not familiar with Watchguard kit at all, so does anyone know why this is happening (proxy ARP?) and how to turn it off (if turning it off is the right solution)?
P.S. Please see the ARP table from the Firebox included below. All the ARP mappings with flags of CMP contain the MAC address of the trusted interface of the Watchguard.

Thanks,
D.
