This sounds vaguely familiar, like it might be a problem I had in the
past getting a ServerIron up, but I can no longer remember the details
of how I solved it, or if this is in fact the same problem.

Are you using a cross-over cable between the Foundry and the router?  I
remember I had some problems with MDX (auto-crossover detection) on
another switch screwing things up on the ServerIron, but I don't
remember if it related to this.

Also, a suggestion you disable VLANs and don't try to get them working
until you have other stuff going; I've found VLAN interoperability very
very touchy on the ServerIrons.  That could conceivably be affecting
the ARP visibility.
