Last month Lutz Pressler posted the following:


//quote begins//
I am not able to get information about manually set proxy ARP entries
with the "ip" tool (iproute2-ss010824), tested on both 2.2.19 and
2.4.8-ac7 kernels.

# ip neigh add proxy 172.20.1.1 dev eth0

The "arp" tool then yields (normal entries trimmed)
# arp -n
Address              HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask        Iface
192.168.1.254        ether   00:80:C8:F6:47:6F   C                 eth0
172.20.1.1           *       *                   MP                eth0

but "ip" only shows
# ip neigh show
192.168.1.254 dev eth0 lladdr 00:80:c8:f6:47:6f nud reachable

Is this expected behaviour or a (kernel) bug?



Alexey, is there any way to do this with "ip", or do we have to keep the "arp"
tool around just to show manual proxy entries?

Thanks,

Chris
