Hello. I am trying to set up ip unnumbered on ME-3600X-24FS-M.
IOS version currently running is 15.3(3)S1, also tried suggested (15.5(3)S2)

Problem occur, when i'm trying to enable arp poll mechanism (ip unnumbered 
<interface> poll).
A windows PC does not apply settings which it has got via dhcp. It is recieving 
DHCP ACK and to ensure,
that there is no stations with the same ip around, it then sends gratuitous
arp, with src ip 0.0.0.0 src mac of itself and dst address, that was in DHCP 
ACK.
ME3600 then sends an arp reply, with desired ip and it's own mac address in 
source (does not happen,
if i switch off poll), a PC then sends DHCP DECLINE, because it thinks, that 
duplicate ip occur.
This is what i see from debug arp:

.Mar 21 14:11:39.175: IP ARP: rcvd req src 0.0.0.0 3c07.7159.98d2, dst 
10.246.0.5 Vlan3996
.Mar 21 14:11:39.175: IP ARP: rejecting entry for IP address: 0.0.0.0, hw: 
3c07.7159.98d2
.Mar 21 14:11:39.175: IP ARP: sent rep src 10.246.0.5 5c50.1543.8640

Here is testing lab's config:

ip dhcp pool testdhcppoll
network 10.246.0.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.246.0.1

vlan 3996

interface Loopback1
ip address 10.246.0.1 255.255.255.0

interface GigabitEthernet0/3
switchport access vlan 3996
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
end

interface Vlan3996
ip unnumbered Loopback1 poll

I've tried to disable gratuitous arp and proxy arp and things like these,
but nothing helps. Only solution i've found so far is to switch on
ip arp inspection with an arp acl:

arp access-list denygratarp
deny request ip host 0.0.0.0 mac any
permit ip any mac any

Then it works, but when i switch on arp inspection on a customer vlan, on any 
of 3600s in my production network, i'm getting some unpleasant tracebacks in 
logs:

Also I really don't want to use arp inspection, if not needed.
Are there any ways to solve this problem?
Also tested this mechanism on several other L3 switches, 3750-12G and C4900M, 
seems to work fine.
