Has anyone come across this before? I have two passport 8600 running VRRP and SMLT and I have two servers with load balancing and a virtual IP address with a virtual MAC address associated. I can ping the two physicals address of the two servers but I am unable to ping the virtual address on one of the two passports. One of the two passports doesn't have the virtual MAC address in his table but the other one well

Hello, have you got an answer or have you fix the problem please ? I've exactly the same pb now with impleting MS clustering with SMLT between BPS2000 and Passport 8000. I'll be very interessting to know the the tips to make so that it works.

Many thanks for your help

I'm not sure on the 8600's but on Cisco 6500 you need to manually enter a static virtual mac address into the arp table for example arp 10.80.254.46 03bf.0a50.fe2e ARPA
The Nortel routers are fine they accept multicast mac addresses no problem.....regards
 
The problème was resolved by adding:

ip arp multicast-mac-flooding enable
