2960X not learning Mac Addresses on interface

[mumbles202]

I'm connecting an interface off of a firewall onto port 41 of a 2960x running 15.0(2)EX5 with a very generic configuration:

interface GigabitEthernet0/41
switchport access vlan 200
switchport mode access

When I issue a "show mac address-t int gi 0/41" nothing is being populated.  However, if I switch the settings and change the vlan assigned to vlan 1, the mac address of the firewall does show up on the switch.  I've tried looking for a bug id that might explain this but haven't found 1 yet.  The switch is basically flat but from what i can see it has no mac address information for anything other than vlan 1, even through devices are currently attached in other vlans.

Does VLAN 200 exist on the switch?

what is the output of "sh vlan"?

HTH

[balaji.bandi]

have you created VLAN 200 ? check show VLAN command to see if the VLAN exists, if not create vlan 200 and allocate the port to vlan and test it.

[mumbles202]

yes, vlan 200 exists on the switch: 

------------------ show vlan ------------------
200 Guest_Traffic active Gi0/41, Gi0/43

[balaji.bandi]

what is the end device ?

[mumbles202]

End device is a FortiGate firewall with 1 port set as a standalone interface.  After troubleshooting some last night this might be more on that side as I can replicate the issue on another 2960x as well as a switch from another vendor.

[balaji.bandi]

i have come across this issue my case was like this :

if the device belong to VLAN 200 (i took as your vlan example) - and Fortinet have IP address from VLAN 200 ( with VLAN SVI as Gateway) - then the Interface belong to VLAN 200 can see the MAC address ?

VLAN 1 any way you see MAC address?  So please what is the IP address of the Fortinet FW

Note : this is one of the use case i have come acrss so may be not in your case.

[mumbles202]

So I did some more testing and found the following after changing the vlan id to be correct:

1.) I'm learning a mac address of ac12.f001.3600 (where the 3600 has also shown as 3100, 3300 and 3500 when checking it at different times)

2.) I learn the mac address of the FortiGate if I connect a device in vlan 200 and have it do a dhcp discovery; it remains in the mac address table of the switch until the end device disconnects

3.) when the device in the vlan disconnects the mac address in the for the FortiGate disappears shortly after

4.) show lldp neighbor from either device (Cisco switch or FortiGate) shows the other device connected w/ the correct mac address.
