I had an issue on the 28xx with a static NAT that just stopped working. The
router would not publish the MAC for the nat entry. I removed the NAT entry
and reapplied - and magically it worked again.

I just ran into something like this yesterday.  A Belkin router with a MAC
of 9444.52dc.XXXX was properly learned at the IDF switch but the upstream

the CAM..router refused.


That's what really tripped me out, was that the router actually did place
an ARP entry and pretended like everything should be working. Scheduling
some more direct tests with packet sniffers next week when I get back in the
office.

I'm curious now if IOS has the issue or the line card, so we'll test off
different cards direct and monitor results.
