VDX- static ARP issue

[pawarpavan]

Hello VDX Experts,

Need assistance as I'm unable to create static ARP entry :

Config snip :

extreme01#show running-config rbridge-id 1 interface ve 20

rbridge-id 1

interface Ve 20

  vrf forwarding RED

  ip proxy-arp

  ip arp learn-any

  ip address 192.168.20.1/24

  no shutdown

!

extreme01# show run int vl 20

interface Vlan 20

name TEST_VLAN_20

!

extreme01# show run int te 1/0/3

interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/3

switchport

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan add 20

switchport trunk tag native-vlan

spanning-tree shutdown

no fabric isl enable

no fabric trunk enable

extreme01# show running-config rbridge-id 1 vrf RED

rbridge-id 1

vrf RED

  rd 10:10

  address-family ipv4 unicast

   ip route 1.1.1.0/24 192.168.20.100

   arp 192.168.20.100 0000.00a2.1100 interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/0/3

extreme01# show run | i mac

mac-address-table static 0000.00a2.1100 forward tengigabitethernet 1/0/3 vlan 20

extreme01# show arp vrf RED

Entries in VRF RED : 1

As ARP is unresolved so traffic destined to IP subnet 1.1.1.0/24 is dropping.

please assist with static ARP.

I see that you did a static mac and static arp entry. Can you confirm if the mac is being learned if you remove the static mac entry? Can the VDX ping 192.168.20.100?

[pawarpavan]

MAC is learned and I'm not able to ping 192.168.20.100 as ARP is unresolved.
The server connected to interface Te 1/0/3 is silent and it does not handle ARP traffic but if we send a data packet to it then it responds.
so my moto is to send the packet out of Te 1/0/3 if the next hop is 192.168.20.100.

Can you try clearing the arp with the no-refresh option, so the dynamic arp learned entry is removed? 

clear arp ip 192.168.20.100 no-refresh vrf RED

Then, try to ping it from the VDX.
