ARP Storms

[Archie_Sr]

Hello all,

I found ARP storms originating from the server I have BI installed on, turns out one of my generic ONVIF cameras was causing BI to broadcast the ARP storms across three different /24's. I disabled the flakey camera and the storms stopped.

Has anyone seen behavior like this before?

Thank you.

Well that's a new one for me. Are you sure it's a flaky camera rather than a malicious attack ? Might be worth letting Support know in case the camera was accidently triggering a valid BI5 function.

Was it trying to check or reset the flakey cams ip address? Thats the only thing I can think of where BI might use ARP.

There is a setting in BI which allows it to monitor and change IP address, caused quite a few people issues wheee the cams IP would be reset to say the IP address of a local router or WiFi access point. Might be worth trying to disable that option but I can’t remember what the option is
