I am attempting to use statically configured arp inspection on a vlan on our 6500. Here's an example, we have , say, vlan500, vlan 500 is assigned to ports gi11/1-48
The configuration on the ports are as follows:
switchport
switchport access vlan 500
switchport mode access
switchport block unicast
switchport port-security
switchport port-security maximum 4
switchport port-security aging time 60
switchport port-security violation restrict
switchport port-security aging type inactivity
switchport port-security mac-address sticky
ip arp inspection limit rate 25 burst interval 5
storm-control broadcast level 0.50
storm-control multicast level 0.50
no cdp enable
spanning-tree bpduguard enable

I created, arp access-list vlan500 and then i did ip arp inspection filter vlan500 vlan 500 I made the arp access-list simply permit ip any mac any so it should allow everything.

The problem is, none of the machines on vlan 500 can talk to each other. They can talk to the gateway address which is on interface vlan 500
interface Vlan500
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.192
ip helper-address 10.10.10.10
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
ip sticky-arp
no ip proxy-arp
arp timeout 3200

So what am I doing wrong that nothing on this vlan can send arp requests to each other?? If i disable arp inspection they can send/receive arp responses fine.. say 10.0.0.5 can arp 10.0.0.6 (10.0.0.5 would be on say gi11/5 and 10.0.0.6 be on gi11/6) but when i enable it, arps don't make it.

Cisco IOS Software, s72033_rp Software (s72033_rp-IPSERVICESK9_WAN-M), Version 12.2(33)SXH2a, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2) cisco WS-C6513 (R7000) processor (revision 1.0) with 458720K/65536K bytes of memory.
This is SUP720-3B

My understanding is that this should work, so I am thinking this is a bug in the code? I tried this on two 6500's both with the same code. I will try it on a test in the lab with SXH5. If anoyne has any idea feel free to chime in and cc my email in the reply.

Thanks!!
