I would check the mac table on both ends to see what MAC addresses are seen. ARP only works if there is already connectivity.

I agree, from my understanding the basic configuration should work.
Along with the port configuration I have:
interface vlan 2 ip address 10.1.2.<x>/24 exit
where <x> is the IP of the configured switch and I can not ping any other devices on the VLAN 2 as I would expect to be able to do so nor do I see an ARP entry in any upstream devices for this switch.

Provided the config from memory, but what you have now looks correct to have VLAN 1 (probably not used) untagged on the interface, and VLAN 2,20,22 tagged.
Example from a live switch:
interface xxxx no shutdown no routing vlan trunk native 1 vlan trunk allowed 10,200

Command "switchport" is not recognized on ArubaOS-CX.
I know that the configuration differs as I was trying different approaches so I had tried also just with one VLAN, etc.
Current interface configuration:
interface 1/1/49 no shutdown no routing vlan trunk native 1 vlan trunk allowed 1-2,20,22 exit

You wrote earlier:
interface 1/1/49 vlan trunk allowed 2,20,22 vlan trunk native 2 tag
which does not match the output that you shared from the procurve. Not sure why you have the vlan trunk native 2 tag, never seen that.
To match the procurve output, please try on CX:
interface 1/1/49 switchport mode trunk vlan trunk allowed 1-4,20-24

The untagged VLAN on the procurve is VLAN1; uplink port has:
Status and Counters - VLAN Information - for ports 25
Port name: 10GB Uplink
VLAN ID Name | Status Voice Jumbo Mode
------- -------------------- + ---------- ----- ----- --------
1 DEFAULT_VLAN | Port-based No No Untagged
2 VLAN2 | Port-based No No Tagged
3 VLAN3 | Port-based No No Tagged
4 VLAN4 | Port-based No No Tagged
20 VLAN20 | Port-based No No Tagged
21 VLAN21 | Port-based No No Tagged
22 VLAN22 | Port-based No No Tagged
23 VLAN23 | Port-based No No Tagged
24 VLAN24 | Port-based No No Tagged
To this interface an 10Gbit Mikrotik switch is connected which is VLAN agnostic (does NOT have VLAN filtering enabled); to this switch there are currently 6 switches connected now (two of them are the new Aruba 6200F); all VLAN traffic works without problems on the Procurve switches (2500 and 2900 series) that are connected through this link. I have tried connecting the new Arubas directly to Procurve switch also, but no luck.
Whole network on this location consists of Mikrotik Routers and 26 Procurve switches, we are now trying to add these new Aruba switches and are having some problems...

What is the Untagged VLAN on the ProCurve and the router?
Can you provide the configs of the ports for the upstream ProCurve and the router?

Yes, sorry that was a typo - I copy pasted and missed to correct the IP for the second switch.

This output seems a bit confusing. but it does appear that you are putting the same IP address on the VLAN 2 Interface of both switch 1 and switch 2.
Was this a typo? You cannot have the same IP Address on an interface in the same VLAN. On switch 2, interface VLAN 2, set the IP to 10.1.2.14/24 or any other IP that is available in that IP range, just can't use 10.1.2.13/24 since it was assigned to VLAN 2 interface of switch 1. At least this is the first thing I see as an issue with the config you have provided.
Interfaces 1/1/49 & 1/1/27 seem to be correct.
