[SOLVED] em1: received packet with own address as source add

[npolite]

Hi All,

We are running CentOS 6.4 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64. Yesterday we started getting the error about received packet with own address as source address. We haven't touched the network configuration in over 2 months. We tried to remove the network bridge and it seems the errors went away. When we had re-done the configuration the network bridge would not come up until we actually restarted the server. Does this look like a bug? We are out of ideas and hope that an update will resolve this issue. Here is the config. Any help would be appreciated.

I would first suggest to update your box to 6.6 and the current kernel, and then see if the issues goes away.

Yup that was it. I ran a yum update and it fixed the issue.

Thanks,
