Greetings,
I was monitoring my LAN using Ethereal and came across this:
==================================================================
+ Frame 26 (60 on wire, 60 captured)
- IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
Destination: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff)
Source: 00:48:54:72:73:57 (00:48:54:72:73:57)
Length: 64
- Logical-Link Control
DSAP: NULL LSAP (0x00)
IG Bit: Individual
SSAP: NULL LSAP (0x00)
CR Bit: Command
+ Control field: I, N(R) = 0, N(S) = 0 (0x0000)
Data (42 bytes)
==================================================================
These packets arrive every 171.8295 seconds
The MACs on my LAN are:
donelle - 00:40:F4:05:C9:FE
sparc - 08:00:20:13:0B:D9
router (private) - 00:04:5A:08:1F:59
router (public) - 00:E0:98:06:D8:DE
Crude picture of my setup
Qwest eth0 eth1
Digital ------- router -----SWITCH----- sparc (Solaris)
Gateway (Linux) +===== donelle (Win98)
----- - 10BaseT
===== - 100BaseT
My question - why is this ethernet frame getting onto my LAN? Is the
Linux Router passing on LLC info from Qwest? Where is it coming from?
Thanks in advance.
George
