Aruba 6200F cannot access connected devices

  • 1.  Aruba 6200F cannot access connected devices

    Posted Oct 21, 2021 10:42 AM
    Hello,

    I am having an issue with 2 x 6200F switches I have recently added to my network(2). The network(2) is a mix of HPE 1950 series and Aruba 2540 and now 2 x Aruba 6200F included.

    This is quite a large network and I have included a diagram of the main components, renamed to simplify.

    The office CCTV network sits on network 2, contains 22 switches and is segregated from the main data network (network 1), I have a static route from network 1 to network 2 and can access all switches devices in the network 2 (10.21.32.0/21) subnet with no issue, except the devices on the 6200F's

    I added the 6200F switches, and configured as follows:
    MGMT interface is connected to network 1 and is in VSF MGMT
    Switchports are connected to network 2 in VSF default
    I can access the switches from network 1 using either the mgmt interface addresses or the network 2 subnet addresses with no issue
    I can ping devices on the 6200F switches from CCTV2 but not from CCTV1 however I can ping every other device on the network from CCTV1

    All of the end devices are configured with the following:
    10.21.32.x
    255.255.248.0
    10.21.32.1

    10.21.33.x
    255.255.248.0
    10.21.32.1

    Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

    Hello JP!

    1950 has an ARP limit of 256 records, so in a relatively large network like this it may be that the table is full and 1950 can't learn new records. This is the first thing that I would check. Unlock the full CLI of the 1950 and ​check the ARP table state with following commands:

    display arp all count
    display arp entry-limit​


    In general when you try to ping a host and the ping doesn't go through it is important to check the ARP table for the MAC address record of the target host. Also check the MAC table on CCTV1 and CCTV2 for the MAC address of that host - it should be known on the downstream trunks to the 6200F.

    Another thing, since you've got STP enabled, check all ports along the way between CCTV1 and 6200F for their state. I highly doubt there will be a blocking port in such topology, but you never know.

    Hello Ivan,

    Thank you for taking the time to respond, much appreciated!

    I believe you have hit the nail on the head there, yes it does indeed look like the table is full:

    <CCTV01>dis arp all count
    Total number of entries: 256
    <CCTV01>dis arp entry-limit
    ARP entries: 256

    I will look to swap this switch out with either a 2930F or a 5130, that should be all the issue resolved

    Many thanks again!
