Ghost IP, can't locate it

Hi All

We have a ghost IP. I can ping it, but I can't find it.

I've done the usual stuff.

show mac-address

not shown

ping ip

show arp

The IP is shown, but the port is empty??

I've looked through running-config without finding it.

What to do?

This is a stacked switch, four switches in a 2x2 failover.

Hello Fribse ,

Looks strange and intersting , can you let me know the model of switch and it is possible add the current config  ?

Also share the ghost IP and trace to the ghost ip from your network

Re: Ghost IP, can't locate it

These may sound like odd ideas, but in my environment (access points, credit card machines, voip phones) etc  I try the following.

1. Try to open the ip in a browser

2. Try to ssh to the ip with putty or equiv.

3. Try to rdp/vnc to ip

4. Try mac/ip binding in your firewall and block it...see who squaks

5. Perhaps it's tied to a vlan

good luck
