2. Problem description
Configure VLL service between NE40E and S5700HI. Found some servers can ping and some cannot ping from client.
Alarm Information
None
Handling Process
1. Ping Server from access switch and it is ok.
2. Ping from NE40E and it is failed. Make traffic statistics on access switch to check icmp pakcet reach or not.
Result: No icmp packet reach
3. Check that there is no ARP table on NE40E. So the problem is ARP learning issue. Make ARP pakcets statistics on access switch. No arp request arrives.
4. on S5700HI P devices, capture packets on the port connects to NE40E. And found there is no arp packet.
5. Check the port configuration on NE40E. Customer configure QinQ sub interfaces. One command “arp broadcast enable” is missed.
