Re: Arp reply Only Issue - Complete/DHCP flags are not set on the ARP table

I will set up a lab and test tonight on 6.44.1 and see if I can replicate the issue. I believe the arp is timing out and is only refreshed during the lease renewal. Typically, the DHCP lease is valid for 24 hours (default) and the arp timeout is 4 hours (default). I wonder if you reduce the dhcp lea...

Re: Putting all routers on lo [SOLVED]

It would work so long as each router has access to the same L2 broadcast domain. The bridge interface would run STP and would prevent any switching loops, the problem is the OSPF process would need to be a broadcast type which would cause a DR/BDR election.

Re: VLAN - best practice?

Due to the nature of bridges, I always put the vlans on the physical interfaces then create a bridge for each vlan, I don't rely on the bridges switch logic for vlan filtering (and I believe it is disabled by default anyways). That method is only for the CCR platforms though which is why I asked.
