I have an SD-WAN network for about 30 locations using MX units. All is working great, but in my two datacenters, I've noticed that I see event log entries regarding source IP and/or VLAN mismatches. I've configured the LAN ports on these devices to run in Access mode rather than Trunk, yet the alerts persist. The event log details list the source device, my downstream core switches. I'm unsure why these alerts are being logged or why there is a conflict.
Here's a sample entry:
Client: 192.168.100.3, MAC: 00:01:E8:D7:0D:28, VLAN: 1, details: sent 8895539 unexpected packets (Last seen packet IP=172.16.252.19)
The client is the core switch, and I would expect packets destined for that 172.16.252.19 to traverse the SD-WAN.
