I have found the answer to this problem! There is a virtual NIC on the P7 with an IP address of 192.168.1.215 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.240. From what I have been told in the midrange-L email list I signed up for (see below) The cause of our issues is that we don't have a...

Negative, 192.168.1.x is the network ALL my servers are on. I'm beginning to think that it is an IBM iSeries specific issue. I am reaching out to a midrange/iseries mailing list I just signed up for. If/When I find an answer I will definitely update this post. Thanks for your assistance folks!

Ok, did the following changed the IP address of Server B to 192.168.1.214 cleared the ARP cache on the core switch pinged 192.168.1.214 from the core switch did a show ARP and it's showing the exact same thing as initially. Server A and Server B's IP addresses in the ARP cache both have the...

Server A is an IBM iSeries (their new name for the AS400) Server B is an IBM HMC (the hardware management console for the AS400) We do utilize VMWare hosts, but they would not effect this current issue.

That is an interesting thought. Server B is just a management console, so I don't see any reason we can't change it's IP... I'll give that a try!

I just did the following took Server B offline (unplugged it from the core) cleared the ARP cache on the core switch, tried to ping 192.168.1.218 from the core, ran a show arp on the core, Same results as before, the ARP cache on the core shows both 192.168.1.213 and 192.168.1.218 as having...

Unfortunately that is not an option, as Server A is the iSeries DB server which houses ALL of our company's reporting information. It needs to be up 24x7. An interesting note, every so often when I clear the arp cache on the core switch, the appropriate MAC address and port information is...

No, the NIC from from Server A and B have always been installed in their respective servers. They show as having the same MAC address because Server A is replying to the ARP "Who Has" for IP 192.168.1.213 AND 192.168.1.218, when it only really has 192.168.1.213. And this is what is causing...

Looking for assistance with an odd network issue I'm seeing. I have two servers, Server A and Server B. Both are connected directly to my core switch. Server A is connected to port 1/15 Server B is connected to port 2/4 Server A has a NIC with IP address 192.168.1.213 Server B has a NIC...
