Hi,
I plugged an IP device into a 2960 Catalyst switch. The port is up, but there is no MAC address learned on it:
TNSWAGCS01002(config-if)#do sh mac add int fa0/16

I read that it may be a L1/L2 issue. We tried with another ethernet cable. We also tried with another IP device of the same model. That did not solve the issue.
Any idea would be appreciated.

Hi,
what is happening if you ping any IP from this device ?
Regards.

Hi Alain,
There are no issues with this switch. One of the symptoms of the issue is that a ping from the gateway to the host fails. The ARP "incomplete" entry appears on the connected router:
Internet 10.101.13.62 - 1cdf.0f1a.4258 ARPA GigabitEthernet0/0.1300
Internet 10.101.13.65 0 Incomplete ARPA
Internet 10.101.13.70 - 1cdf.0f1a.4258 ARPA GigabitEthernet0/0.1400
I did ARP debugs:
- debug arp
- debug arp table
- debug arp interface
- debug arp database
The debug output is in the file attached. Please note that:
- the IP address of the device generating the "incomplete ARP" is 10.101.13.65
- the IP address of the gateway is 10.101.13.70 (subinterface on the branch router)
