Thanks for the answer. (Sorry that i didn't react earlier but i had a couple of days off.) Seems indeed to be gratuitous ARP . But what i don't understand is that we have this behaviour continiously (about every second , these arp messages re-appaer). Even when no other traffic is arriving for this virtual server.

 

There is no failover happening , and we are not making any changes to any setup . It's happening about once per second for all virtual servers we have (more than 300) . When reading the article mentioned above , i can understand that it happens from time to time . But you should also have period without seeing these arp-messages.

 

seen the nr of virtual servers we have on this ltm unit , i'm trying to look for a way to limit these arp requests.
