NLB
1 TopicNLB does not respond on same subnet
I'm having an issue with a Microsoft NLB server cluster, it DOES respond to ICMP from clients on different subnets but it DOES NOT respond to ICMP on the same subnet (broadcast domain). Both servers are running Windows Server 2012 R2. Both servers are running with a single NIC. Both servers were working until a recent restart. Both servers are VMs running on a 2012 R2 hypervisor. I know this is an ARP issue, but this ARP problem only impacts guests in the same broadcast domain. Our routers have a static ARP entry which is working for clients on different subnets, but when a client tries to discover the MAC address for this NLB cluster within the same broadcast domain it never receives a reply. If I manually enter the ARP entry into the clients table this works. Has anyone else experienced this before? (The issue is not our routing as devices from different VLANs are OK.) If I run apr -a -v from a client on the same subnet that has tried to discover this ARP is has the following entry: Internet Address Physical Address Type 192.168.0.55 00-00-00-00-00-00 invalidSolved3.3KViews0likes2Comments
