Hi Andy,

Thanks for your response. This is certainly an interesting problem, don't
ya think?

I will try those things you suggested and see what happens. But, you
confirmed for me the biggest question I had which was should R1 be able to
ping R3. I wasn't 100% sure that it should, so I didn't try to debug this
problem before knowing that in fact this was a problem.

Thanks for getting back to me on this.

Tim

I think the problem is that the switch you are trunked to does not
forward between VLANS. So, do the debug arp and you should see that R1
sees R3 as directly connected, but it doesn't get ARP resolution because
the only way to get ARP resolution from the local subnet is via R6
(because the switch wont forward between vlans).

Possible resolution, place R3 into a subnet that is LARGER than /24 and
enable Proxy arp on R6!!!!

Hi guys,

Here's the scenario.

R1 <--> R6 <-->R3

R6 has a BVI 1 configured and R6's fa1/0/0 is trunking. Here's the
config:

bridge irb

interface FastEthernet1/0/0
 no ip address
 half-duplex
!
interface FastEthernet1/0/0.16
 encapsulation dot1Q 16
 bridge-group 1
!
interface FastEthernet1/0/0.36
 encapsulation dot1Q 36
 bridge-group 1

interface BVI1
 ip address 136.7.136.6 255.255.255.0

bridge 1 protocol ieee
bridge 1 route ip

R6 can ping both R1 and R3, but R1 can't ping R3. There are no acl's or
any other obvious (at least to me) reasons for this. I assume R1 should
be able to ping R3. Can someone help me out?

Thanks in advanced, Tim
