Hi

This is what I have done, but it doesn’t appear to work.

We have had to send to the clients via DHCP a set of /32 host routes to 
circumvent this problem.

I will open a TAC case and raise with my SE to see whats what.

Thanks for the feedback.

Subject: Re: [j-nsp] proxy-arp on EVPN irb

Hi

It seems that proxy arp is disabled by default:
proxy-arp | Junos OS | Juniper 
Networks<https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/multicast-l2/topics/ref/statement/proxy-arp-edit-interfaces.html>

Regarding proxy-arp for EVPN (arp suppression) it only works for the same 
subnet, not between subnets.

So that seems to match what you're seeing that you must enable proxy-arp on the 
IRB in order to reach the other subnets.

Regards
Roger

As I recall, proxy-arp behavior is proven by looking in the local host arp 
cache and finding entries for foreign ip’s mapped to the default gateway’s mac 
address.  If that is still occurring, then it would seem that proxy arp 
functionality is still working and you can move on to tshooting something 
beyond that… like what is the upstream def gw/evpn pe doing with those packets
