Hello,
First I would like to thanks this community because I've used it to find many solutions since nearly ten years now.
Now I'm facing a network issue for wich I can't find any information here (or via googling it).
On a LAN of nearly 100 computers, I have 2 computers which suddenly can't contact each other (ping/tcp/udp), but it was working for weeks.
The network topology :
computer A ---- switch9 (2510-48) ---- router (OmniSwitch 6850) ---- switch10 (2510-48) ---- computer B
computer A 192.168.2.101
computer B 192.168.2.140
router 192.168.2.254
After wiresharking from computer B, I can see that B never ask for A's MAC address, and when A is asking for B's MAC address, B does not respond.
A and B can contact all others computer on this network (and on routed networks).

As you can see, switch9 know B's mac-address but it is not associated with any port on the switch.
It seems that switch9 not properly learn B's mac address, but I can ping B from switch9.
I've done a show mac-address on switch9, but B's mac address was not listed (A's one was).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.
