[Solved] Static ARP table?

Hi.

I was just thinking - is there some way to create static ARP table for my system? It would help me get rid of ARP Spoofing attack vulnerability, wouldn't it?

Cheers.

`man arp`, `man ethers` + "arp -f /etc/ethers" in /etc/rc.local or somesuch?

How to disable updates of ARP cache with static ARP table?

Common answer on most sites - disable arp:

# ifconfig eth0 -arp

But and host will become unreachable for all!

Re: [Solved] Static ARP table?

also please note

sudo ifconfig eth0 arp

will undo the damage of using the

sudo ifconfig eth0 -arp

command! this is important if you want to undo any damage caused or loss of internet connectivity using arp commands either on purpose or by accident!

Hi Multimedia, and Welcome to Arch Linux

Be sure to check the dates on threads.  I hope that lateralus is not still looking for an answer six years later.
But, your post is relevant, so you did not run afoul of this

But, I am going to close this thread.
