This is your guest doing normal ARP lookups, nothing VirtualBox related here.

The OUI unknown message just means that tcpdump doesn't have an entry for 52:54:00 prefix in its OUI database. It doesn't affect anything at the network level.

    initial v1  
    33I'm using a Debian distro in Windows 10, through Virtualbox.  I have a NAT network, as I just need some basic functionality for now.  This really isn't a problem, but more of a curiosity.  I'm running a background tcpdump and I notice anytime Debian needs to make a request 'outside" (sent to 10.0.2.2 my default virtual router), I see that an ARP request for the MAC of 10.0.2.2 has to be sent. Even a ping, a traceroute, any NTP requests, etc... they all force debian to ARP out a request for the MAC.  Here's a sample:

    5 [code]spawn id exp6 sent <15:44:27.964752 ARP, Request who-has 10.0.2.2 tell 10.0.2.15, length 28\r\n15:44:27.965098 ARP, Reply 10.0.2.2 is-at 52:54:00:12:35:02 (oui Unknown), length 46\r\n>

    1012The OUI unknown message is what's bothering me that there may be an issue with it trying to use the entry into the arp table? Any idea's?
