I have 2 stacks N4032F (interstack links 4x10GE) connected by 4x10GE LACP mode active. This is core. Some Cisco switches are connected to them on LACP 2x10GE
I can not ping some hosts from one side to another. This issue is observed when I test from Dell, but also host to host.
I noticed that if is not pingable ARP adge grows. It looks like not ARP are transfered by LACP. All tested hosts are in the same VLAN. Dell switches have interfaces in that vlan where pinged hosts are. When I added static ARP I can ping. When I remove static after some minuts communication breaks. It is observed only pinging some hosts located on Microsoft HV.

I made some tests. First I closed on of legs on LACK to Cisco switches.
Then I started to test stack1 to stack2 4x10GE link closing links. When I had only one link communications works fine. When I had 2 links do different stack members the problem persist, when I had 2 links connecting each stack member horisontally in seems to be OK.

Does anybody have such problems? How can I solve this issu. I need 4x10 interstack link. I havent test 2x2 horizontaly, because at the moment I can only do it remotely.
