Description

Inability to ping Aruba WLC from a directly connected QFX5120-32C via a trunk port.

Symptoms

- Initially the mac was correctly learned on both sides, however, no ARP entry on either side was present.

- Setting a static ARP on both sides and they were still unable to communicate.

Solution

Aruba has a way for setting vlans on ports as 'trusted' and 'untrusted'. Issue resolved after configuring the passing vlans as trusted.
