1750, fastethernet, internal network, aix machine

Hello, Strange behavior observed - and I am not sure, but it seems to be Cisco related.. Got router 1750, on one of the interface I have Cisco switch (1900) connected; to the switch there are connected: hp notebook, and rs/6000 server (aix machine). Both of them have IPs from same subnet (192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0). Behavior I mentioned is:

- I am telneting to the router

- From the router I may ping notebook (always) and aix (but only from time to time)

- If I may ping aix from the router, I may also telnet to this machine; If I may not I have to.. ping aix machine from the notebook, and after that I may ping/telnet to the aix machine from the router as well. To summarize - I may always ping/telnet to the aix machine from the notebook, but not always from the router; If I cannot ping/telnet to the aix machine from the router, I have to ping/telnet to the aix from the notebook, and after that (no matter if I stay connected or not) I will be able - during short time - ping/telnet to the aix machine also from the router.. few minutes later aix is 'blocked' again, and all the show needs to be started from the beginning :( Can anybody help? To answer first auestion :) yes, I have tested other ethernet cable, yes, I have checked other switch port, and no, it made no difference :( My config is below. Thanks for any suggestion. regards Tomasz

Netmasks need to agree for all devices in a single subnet. The occasional operation is due to ARP snooping. One of the devices is unable to ARP for the target host but the other is, My guess is that the mask on the cat 1900 could be 255.255.255.128. During this correct ARP exchange the target snoops the activity and puts the discovered entry in its table.

On cisco "show arp" On Unix and windows usually "arp -a"
