[c-nsp] Dynamic ARP timeout on ASR 1001

[Chris Gibbs]

Hey all,

Having a bit of an issue with bridge-domains on ASR 1001 and dynamic ARP entries.

Looking through the packet captures, I see the following events


1.       DHCP request from CPE

2.       DHCP ACK and assignment from DHCP server to CPE

3.       Gratuitous ARP sent from CPE.

4.       Packets flow as normal.

5.       Something triggers dynamic ARP entry to timeout on the BNG (Cisco ASR 1001).

a.       Suspect this may be triggered by the DHCP Request renew or the following gratuitous ARP received.

b.      See the debug message on the ASR:

*Oct 15 18:18:29.376: IP ARP: rcvd rep src 10.0.30.11 5475.d0df.7f48, dst 10.0.30.11 BDI100
*Oct 15 18:18:29.376: ARP DB: ARP entry of key 10.0.30.11 found
*Oct 15 18:18:29.376: ARP TABLE: modifying entry 10.0.30.11/5475.d0df.7f48 on BD100 for Dynamic
*Oct 15 18:18:29.376: ARP DYNAMIC[N]: Dynamic timeout occurredtimeout = 14400000, refresh_token = 2,refresh_timeout = 60000
*Oct 15 18:18:29.376: ARP DB: ARP entry of key 10.0.30.11 found



6.       DHCP client on the CPE eventually sends through a DHCP request for the IP 10.0.30.11.

7.       DHCP server replies with ACK.

8.       Gratuitous ARP sent from CPE.

9.       Dynamic ARP entry is populated.

10.   Packets flow as normal.

If I attempt to ping manually from the CPE, the dynamic arp entry is restored on the ASR.
