Wired Intelligent Edge (Campus Switching and Routing)

Problem:

The VLAN configuration option "ip-recv-mac-address" causes Ping command to fail.

The Aruba switch does not respond to Ping command after configuring the ip-recv-mac-address Vlan option.

IP routing must be enabled when using the ip-recv-mac-address Vlan option. In the following example, Vlan 1 on switch Rack2sw1 is configured for the ip-recv-mac-address option. The Ping test fails until IP routing is enabled.

The configuration, verification, and testing associated with the diagram follows:

Testing with and without IP routing enabled:
