arp: writing to routing socket: File exists Since upgraded to ONTAP 8.1.4

jerome_barrelet — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:46:39 GMT

Hello,

Since we upgraded to ONTAP 8.1.4 7-mode we have these messages in console.

arp: writing to routing socket: File exists

They don't appear in the messages log file but only in console. Seems that it comes from the ACP upgrade Fwd.

As anyone had the same ?

ACP is working well:

Alternate Control Path: Enabled

Ethernet Interface: e4b

ACP Status: Active

ACP IP Address: 192.168.0.123

ACP Subnet: 192.168.0.0

ACP Netmask: 255.255.252.0

ACP Connectivity Status: Full Connectivity

We get the same message on my FAS2040 console after upgrading to 8.1.4.7-mode on December 18, 2013.

arp: writing to routing socket: File exists

Everything else seems fine.

Hello,

We are using DOT 8.1.4P1 on FAS 3220 systems and this problem is still occurring. I can still see messages on the console arp: writing to routing socket: File exists.

Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks,

Ravi.

Have you tried an options acp.enabled off , wait a min and acp.enabled on

It worked for me.

I just upgraded a FAS6210 to 8.1.4P2 and still received the message. However, I used the suggestion to cycle the ACP and it appears to have stopped the messages.
