Greetings Ed,

Sounds like a local-segment thing, so I expect your solution to be appropriate. "Keeps failing" concerns me more if there are other factors, aging, proxy-ARP, and so on. I do not have my rack online, but the syntax looks good as well as the approach to the solution.

Take care,

If the question states that "a particular server application on VLAN 100
keeps failing due to ARPs received from a router", what could the possible
resolution be?

I'm thinking a MAC access-list configured to block ARP from the router to
the server? Such as the following:

mac access-list extended ROUTER_ARP
 permit host 1234.1234.1234 host 4321.4321.4321 0x806 0x0

vlan access-map V-FILT 10
 action drop
 match mac address ROUTER_ARP

vlan access-map V-FILT 20
 action forward
 
vlan filter V-FILT vlan-list 100

So, if ARP filtered before reaching the server will allow the application to
work, will the above do the trick?

Thanks,

Ed
