I have a Cisco 4331 router directly connected to an ISP router switch port.
Layer 2 is fine as I can see the mac address of the ISP router in the arp table.
There are no filters on the 4331 i directly connected interface
However at layer 3 pings are failing.
Looking at the 4331 router interface i see unknown protocol drops
sh int gi0/0/0 | i un
Last clearing of "show interface" counters 23:00:44
0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
4743 packets output, 1774370 bytes, 0 underruns
41013 unknown protocol drop
sh int gi0/0/0 | i un
Last clearing of "show interface" counters 23:03:35
0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
4753 packets output, 1778066 bytes, 0 underruns
41097 unknown protocol drops
I got a user to connect a laptop to the ISP router and everything worked
the ISP are typically saying the problem is on my side
I am thinking because the link to the ISP router is connected to the built in switch port they may have DTP or something enabled. I'm sure if this would cause layer 3 connectivity to fail.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

- Give a go with arping instead.

Hello,
what are you pinging, an IP address on the same subnet as your interface (usually the default gateway) ? Do the unknown drops correspond to the amount of pings you are sending ?
