I couldn't reproduce it on 23.05.1

It pulled the MAC address from my MacOS interface connected to the firewall.

Seems to be a regression on 23.09

  • Status changed from New to Confirmed

Ok. I replicated the issue on:

23.09-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Sat Aug 26 04:50:14 UTC 2023
FreeBSD 14.0-ALPHA2

I am changing the status to confirmed.

  • Category changed from DHCP (IPv4) to Operating System

The problem here is that the behavior of the arp command has changed. Running arp -n <ip addr> used to limit the output to only the row for that IP address. Now it's returning all of them as if it was run with -a. Because it's returning all of the entries, the firewall itself is first, which is where it gets that MAC address from.

Looks like a bug in arp on FreeBSD to me. We could work around it, but given how broken the current behavior is, it would be better to get it fixed upstream.

I have conducted a test on the most recent build today and can verify that it is performing as expected.

I am marking this ticket closed.

For good measure I also tested out the arp fixes and everything is working properly as far as I can see now.

Manually at the CLI I can filter by address and by interface.

The 'Copy My MAC' button on DHCP static mappings also works as expected from a directly connected client.
