Hi,
i'm preparing a stack replacement. I created a three member vsf stack using 2930F switches. For migration purposes, one port is trunked to the old to-be-migrated stack.
All works well, except one thing... I'm getting duplicate ipv4 entries in the logs :
W 10/18/19 13:12:34 02581 ip: ST1-CMDR: IPv4: Duplicate IPv4 address
172.30.254.26 is detected on port 1/48 in VLAN 1254 with a MAC
address of 001c7f-626d88
The strange thing is ... i'm sure there is no duplicate ipv4.
When mirroring a port and having a look with wireshark i see (gw is here a Checkpoint fw 172.30.254.254) :
Checkpoint -> Aruba arp who has 172.30.254.26, tell 172.30.254.254
Aruba -> Checkpoint arp 172.30.254.26 is at 38:21:c7:b2:7c:8a
Checkpoint -> Aruba arp 172.30.254.26 is at 38:21:c7:b2:7c:8a
After that i immediately see a syslog packet announcing the duplicate ipv4 address.
As we see, the mac address which is supposed to have the duplicate ip is the Checkpoint fw. Which is actually responding that the ip belongs to another mac address?
