  • 1.  HP 5940 is not doing ARP

    Posted Dec 20, 2018 03:04 PM

    Weird situation

    The switch is configured with VLAN interfaces - nothing fancy. No matter what I do - I cannot see any ARP generated by the switch to resolve any IP under the VLAN. Once I do enter the entry manualy - all is working .

    If traffic is generated first from  the LAN host - the entry in the ARP table is fullfilled.

    Latest version of software in place

    Hey.

    Sounds strange.

    have you tried debugging arp on the switch?

    Check your timer and see how long it is. Wait for the timeout with debugging enabled and check the messages.

     Current ARP aging time is 1200 seconds

    >debugging arp active-ack
    >debugging arp fast-reply
    >debugging arp error

    you should see stuff like

     

    ARP/7/ARP_SEND: Sent an ARP message, operation: 1, sender MAC: <mac-switch>, sender IP: <ip-switch>, target MAC: <mac-host>, target IP: <ip-host>
    ARP/7/ARP_RCV: Received an ARP message, operation: 2, sender MAC: <mac-host>, sender IP: <ip-host>, target MAC: <mac-switch>, target IP: <ip-switch>
    ARP/7/ARP_ENTRY: ARP entry status changed: MAC address: <mac-host>, IP address: <ip-host>, AGING -> NO_AGE
