This sounds vaguely familiar, like it might be a problem I had in the
past getting a ServerIron up, but I can no longer remember the details
of how I solved it, or if this is in fact the same problem.
Are you using a cross-over cable between the Foundry and the router? I
remember I had some problems with MDX (auto-crossover detection) on
another switch screwing things up on the ServerIron, but I don't
remember if it related to this.
Also, a suggestion you disable VLANs and don't try to get them working
until you have other stuff going; I've found VLAN interoperability very
very touchy on the ServerIrons. That could conceivably be affecting
the ARP visibility.

I tried both connection to a switch via xover cable with auto-neg on and
off (hard coded the ports) because Cisco auto-neg is pretty terrible.
As well as directly connected to a router via cat5 cable. Crossover
cable won't work when connecting foundry-router.
I also tried direct connection to a laptop via cat5.
I also don't have any vlans set up and if you look at my first post it
shows that vlan tagging is not active on all the interfaces and the port
shows up and in a forwarding state.
