Good morning,
I have 2 CRS-1 Routers configured for HSRP which act as default gateway to 4 Cisco 2511 network consoles. In this configuration, we have asymmetrical routing setup, so inbound traffic goes from R1 ----- towards cisco 2511 network consoles (4 of th em) which hang off a single 3750. When the 2511''s access the internet, they travel over the same layer 2 circuit but towards R2 and this is the active router within HSRP.
My problem!!
When the 4 network consoles are rebooted, they arp to the subnet and everything works fine howver, when the arp time-out expires on the routers, communication is lost to the consoles and arp is never re-learned from the routers. I check the debug on the consoles and can see the arp requests come in from the routers, but I think when it sends back its request, to goes to R2 (which isnt the one requesting arp.. its R1 --- remember traffic flow).
When we lose communication to the 2511 and I console into it, its arp table looks fine but it can't ping any of the HSRP Ips.
I know that I could put in static arps for these consoles but this is not an option in our network.
I'n very stumped here and would appreciate any assistance.
