11.3 proxy ARP

Hello,

 

 

is it possible to disable Proxy ARP feature on v11.3 LTM?

 

 

When node goes down, LTM starts to respond to ARP requests from other nodes in

 

L2 LAN. When node goes up again, LTM continues to respond to ARP requests

 

making node unreachable to other nodes in that L2 VLAN.

 

 

Windows nodes detect this problem as 'IP address conflict'.

 

 

I think that this problem is related to v11.3 because we didn't experienced it

 

on v10.2.4.

  • are you talking about vlan group or arp response from virtual address (e.g. network virtual address, wildcard virtual address)?

    Neither of this. :(

     

    It is just node in VLAN and member in pool behind standard virtual server.

     

  • do you have network or wildcard virtual address? if so, is arp enabled?

     

     

    tmsh list ltm virtual-address

    Yes I have Forwarding VS with ARP enabled and several VLANs behind LTM.

     

    Forwarding VS is enabled on ALL VLANs beacuse of management access.

     

    ltm virtual WC_NETWORK_VS {

     

    destination any:any

     

    ip-forward

     

    mask any

     

    profiles {

     

    fastL4 { }

     

    }

     

    source 0.0.0.0/0

     

    translate-address disabled

     

    translate-port disabled

     

    vlans-disabled

     

    }

     

     

    [root@ltm-viprion:/S1-green-P:Active:Standalone] config tmsh show ltm virtual-address

     

     

    -----------------------------------

     

    Ltm::Virtual Address: any (0.0.0.0)

     

    -----------------------------------

     

    Status

     

    Availability : unknown

     

    State : enabled

     

    Reason : The children virtual server(s) either don't have service checking enabled, or service check results are not available yet

     

     

     

  • Yes I have Forwarding VS with ARP enabled and several VLANs behind LTM.can you try to disable wildcard virtual address (0.0.0.0)'s arp?
