Remember, there is a ARP table and a CAM table.

Your test may create a new CAM entry, but because there was no need to
send an ARP request, the ARP table was not updated.

Hi,

But why when 10.1.1.40 replies, the multi-layer switch not capturing
it's
source MAC address?

Also, what device will reply to 10.1.255.255? I have a lot of devices
here
but why only this replies?

Thanks,
BBD

Hi,

I think this is because router did not send out arp request for the
broadcast IP address. It already know MAC address for broadcast,
right?

When ICMP echo packets were sent out to broadcast address, router just
encapsulated them with destination mac address as broadcast.

But if you show on 10.1.1.40, you will see arp entry for 10.1.0.100.
This
is
because when 10.1.1.40 sent back echo reply, it unicast to 10.1.0.100.

Hope this help,
David
