Hi,

Is curious. alert 6 is "Ethernet mac address different from arp mac
address":

the arp packet contain 4 mac adress:

 * 2 in ethernet headers (mac source and mac destination)

 * 2 in arp data (Sender hardware address and Target hardware
                            address)

This alert is launched when the source addresses of ethernet headers
and arp data are different.

you can remove this alert with
log mac error = false
alert on mac error = false
mod on mac error =false

theses arp packet are very strange.
