RVS1000 Router, not answering request

[Darrin Calcutt]

I have the following frame, being broadcasted on my network

0000   ff ff ff ff ff ff 9c 8e cd 05 5e bb 08 06 00 01  ..........^.....
0010   08 00 06 04 00 01 9c 8e cd 05 5e bb c0 a8 01 cc  ..........^.....

Why is the router not respond to the resolution of the MAC address for the IP address?

It is good to know that your router is functioning as the DHCP server. I wonder if the cameras using static/hard coded addresses may have something to do with what is going on. Are there other devices connected in this network that have static/hard coded addresses?

Most devices are static, except for the LIFX and Wemo devices.

If most devices are static addressing and they are not having problems then it is hard to see how the static addresses on the cameras would be the issue. It will be difficult to identify the issue since your router and your switches do not seem to have the tools that we would need (switches can not configure a span port and router does not seem to have debug arp). So I would suggest that we take a different approach. Instead of focusing on the router let us focus on your PC as a way to investigate this issue. So I suggest that you start a packet capture on your PC and then have the PC ping to the address of the camera. Then look in the capture for any traffic between your PC and the camera.

I think its time to find new hardware for my whole system.

Router, switches and access points.

Not liking the cisco help I'm getting. Firware upgrades seem to stop rather quickly too, even though there is much to be done.

Perhaps it is time to find new hardware. Your existing hardware demonstrates the tradeoff of lower price associated with lower provisioning of tools available to troubleshoot when something does not work as expected.

Lower price? Are you kidding me? My system is only three years old, and it cost me a pile of money!
