| Re: [Business] ARP Packets from Comcast are Flooding My LOCAL Ne What is the firmware version in your SMCD3G-CCR?
Perhaps you have gotten a new IPv6 compatible firmware pushed to your SMCD3G-CCR, and this is an unintended new "feature" of that firmware?

Ditto... my smc is up 90+ days no reboot, no arp traffic here. Of course it's just going to send arps to my router which will drop them, if it happens...

my 3745 will just drop them too.
though I'll do a speed test before and after just to see, though the link from SMC to 3745 is gig so I doubt it'll have any impact on the available bandwidth as the traffic would be using the cable side interface anyway and this at worst might add it to the intermediate link between the two devices thus cutting into the gig speed which would likely not even notice.
although maybe it could have an impact on the SMC's CPU load. |

the CM oddly didn't make the switch port active which caused more power cyceling and also my ASP page that fetches the rf stats is now broken |

LAN 1 was working, which I found by jacking in a laptop on each port until I got das blinkenlites.
Weird.

I did not see that symptom because I normally only have one device connected to my SMCD3G's LAN (my SamKnows box on SMC port 1). After seeing DarkLogix's post and your followup, I moved my Vonage RTP300's WAN connection to the SMC LAN ports 2-4 in sequence, and all of the SMC switch ports were active as soon as I connected the cable.
Perhaps the new SMCD3G firmware expects that the SMC LAN port 1 will always have an active connection, and if it doesn't find one, it doesn't bother to enable any other switch ports? Later this evening I plan to check to see if the USB port has perhaps been activated with the new firmware. I will move my SamKnows box to port 4 on the SMC at that time to see if it works immediately after an SMC reboot.

Yep I posted the fix... The new firmware has an extra | at the end of the data sets (no idea why) which you need to lop off to avoid an invalid double. See your other thread. --

Yep, I had that too. but for me, it was LAN1 that went dead (which was the port I was using). Moving to LAN4; I could access the stupid router again. |

1. I tested rebooting with my SamKnows box on port 4, and I did not see a problem. This appears to be an intermittent symptom (or possibly one that only appeared after the first reboot when the new firmware was installed).
2. The USB active LED now illuminates if either a USB flashdrive or a USB printer is connected (a new behavior), but I could see nothing in the SMC menu to indicate an attached USB device, nor any additional active TCP ports to indicate that either USB storage or printing is supported.
