    The MLX platform is not a layer2 switch by default, so there are two
    ways to solve this problem:<br>
    <br>
    a) Use a VLL-local to bridge VLAN 999 from the firewall, through the
    MLX, to the ICX2. Then the MLX does not even learn the MAC addresses
    of the packets which are passing through.<br>
    <br>
    b) Perform a "no route-only" on all the interfaces which are
    involved in layer2 switching.<br>

Looks like you have "route-only" globally or on physical port applied. Try to do "no route-only" on physical port first.

Subject: [f-nsp] Double-switched (looped) traffic on Netiron MLX

Hello,

I am currently seing traffic being blocked on a MLX setup where there are two VLANS:
First vlan (10 in this example) is a vlan with layer-3 ve interface.
Traffic is first sent via the internal VLAN to a firewall device.
Then it is switched using the external VLAN and finally being routed.
This is to make the traffic pass the firewall and not to switch it directly to the server, bypassing the firewall.

With this setup, MLX does not switch the traffic correctly until i set transparent-hw-flooding on the internal VLAN. ARP works but IP packets do not get forwarded.

Does anybody know why this is the case and if ther is any solution apart from setting transparent-hw-flooding?
