Chris, Sorta similar probs going on here... I've been fighting [and so far loosing] with a 7206-npe200/128mb that keeps dropping ICMP packets from my FWs. The FA is on a PA-FE-TX, but I've also tried PA-2FEISL-TX...to no avail... like I said, so far I'm loosing... :-.
It's a 2 armed router ATM on the left [Internet] and FA on the right. Running full BGP routes on the ATM, Running HSRP on the FA & this is what the CKPT-FW1s [running stonebeat] are pinging [the HSRP adder]. The FWs don't loose their pings _all the time_ just enough to cause them to go offline...say, 3x a week. Sniffed the wire, and sure enough the router just doesn't respond to some of them...router shows goose-eggs for drops/errors/runts/etc...replaced cables/PAs/IOSes [now on 12.1.5, 12.0.3, & 12.2.4T] to no avail... TAC has sent me a new chassis & NPE as the next guess...but I'm not expecting much outa that "swap out" let me know if you get anywhere...or thoughts :-) I'm almost ready to start whispering "Nortel...Nortel....Nortel..." to the damn thing to see if I can use the fear factor to get him to act right...

Was wondering if anybody has had problems with the fastethernet port on the NPE300 for the 7206VXR platform. Lastnight for some reason the box was not able to ping the other router that it was connected to via this port. When doing a sh arp it showed the ip I was trying to ping with a mac of INCOMPLETE. All other interfaces to this router were up and passing traffic, after doing the magic "reload", everything was fine. It's weird that this port would just freeze up, it still said up and up on a sh int before the reload. After talking to a buddy, he said that they had had issues with using the fastethernet port on the NPE. I figured I would disseminate this problem to a larger group to see if anybody else had seen this. Thanks.
