[c-nsp] CISCO ME3600X ARP ISSUE

[Antonis Vosdoganis]

Hello everyone



I am facing a issue with our Metro Ethernet switch. I have directly
connected a Patton SmartNode 4528 Voip Gateway Router to the Cisco Switch
which is the Default Gateway (46.245.137.1). Patton GW every 20 minutes
sends an ARP request asking for default gateways mac address.

Cisco ME3600X is not responding to Patton ARP request so Patton is losing
ip connectivity since is thinking that Default Gateway is down.

Routing Protocol is ISIS. I have made the some tests with a Catalyst 2960G
which is responding to Patton ARP request.



Switch Port configuration

interface GigabitEthernet0/23

switchport trunk allowed vlan none

switchport mode trunk

Cisco ME3600X is running IOS me360x-universalk9-mz.153-1.S1.bin

I have attached 2 wireshark traces one from 3600 and one from 2960.
