Received non RFC-1577 compliant ARP packet

[kjartan.th.fridjonsson]

Anyone know what this means ?

Am trying to do rfc1483 bridging over AAL5/snap encapsulated PVC but keep getting encapsulation failed.

rfc1483 routing works but wanted to do IRB to accomondate a small subnet.

Hello,

can you post the configuration of your router ?

Hi,

It seems as if there are two separate issues that you need to fix:

1. You are unable to ping 157.157.98.249 - it gives you an encap error

2. You are receiving RFC-1577 compliant ARP packets

For your first issue, it's interesting that the debug output shows that the router is trying to route it via BVI1, which does not exist in your config. Did you have a BVI1 interface configured previously ?

To understand why you are getting the second error, we really need to look at the router at the other end of the PVC since that is the one sending it. It would appear that that router is configured for Classical IP over ATM. Could you pls post a config of that router ?

Regards,

Paresh.

The config was probably some intermetiate config since I was doing a lot of testing, but I did test this with the BvI interface configured.

I don´t have access to the remote end of the PVC as it connects to a SP, sorry.

But anyway we solved this by put another subnet on the pvc and route the previous one over that one so the job is done

But I´m still a little cureous why I was not able to bridge this instead of routing it?

For instance I tried to debug the arp reply according to the RFC1577 but the content didn´t make sense to me which is probably why the error occurs.
