MAC Address not registering..

Hello all,

I've recently connected a previously unused interface from our F5 LTM to our 3560G switch.  I have the LTM interface and switchport interface both in the same VLAN.  However when I do a "show mac-address-table int g0/48" the interface doesn't have a MAC address showing.  The  "show int g0/48" shows the below results. (no errors shown below that either).  Basically the overall problem is we have a server connected to the switch with an IP within that Vlan, the server's switchport is also in that Vlan, but I can not ping the server from within a shell command from the LTM, but I ping it from the switch itself.  When I run a TCPDump from the LTM I see the following:

[LB1:Active] config # tcpdump -ni VLAN15 -s0 host x.x.78.44

tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on VLAN15, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

14:22:50.358148 arp who-has x.x.78.44 tell x.x.78.31 out slot1/tmm0 lis=

14:22:52.358375 arp who-has x.x.78.44 tell x.x.78.31 out slot1/tmm0 lis=

SW1#show int g0/48

Any thoughts or suggestion on what to check on why commuication from the LTM interface isn't getting out to the server.  Again they are on the same VLAN, I can ping the server from the Switch and the firewall with no issues.  All the other LTM interfaces are working fine and I see MAC addresses showing up for those interfaces in their corresponding swtich ports.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi,

Can you post your config.

cadet.. Is there something specfic you'd like to see? I'd be happy to post specfic areas if you can let me know what you might be looking for.  The reason I ask is the config is full of senstive information that I'd prefer not to share.  Though I can go through and edit it to hide most of that information, it's very time consuming.  Again something I can do if necessary.

Thanks,

Bob

If you've added VLAN 15 specifically for these two devices, did you add VLAN 15 into the VLAN database?

Yes, and I've confirmed it by doing a "show vlan" command.  I do see that Vlan 15 exist and that port is assoicated to that vlan.

Thanks
