Paul,
I have currently got the same problem on my Maxen (6000s running
ebixk.m60 6.1.3/6.1.7), I have opened a ticket with EMEA support
about this. (Ticket #267051)
I've been asked to take a trace of the Ethernet traffic on this
segment, because the Ascend Tech I'm working with at Sophia TAC
thinks that the Max is malforming the return ICMP packets.
I find that the WAN side address does eventually age out if there is
no-one logged on the box, or if there are only dynamically assigned
users (who don't need a static WAN address on the Max) connected, for
a period of time.
Here's something I'd like you to try...
Traceroute the Max ethernet address from a router or machine attached
to the same ethernet. Do you get the correct ethernet address back?
I do, tracing from a Cisco 7200 router to a Max on one of it's
attached Ethernets.
Regards,
Mike
