USG20W-VPN new clients belong to the wrong interface

Hello,

When machines in our network are turned off and started again our USG20W-VPN will often show them in the arp-table as belonging to the "wan" interface (the "show arp-table" command) despite being in the "lan1" interface.

Currently we resolve the problem manually by either pinging the machine from the router or having to issue a command such as "tracert 8.8.8.8" which seems to "fix" the arp table.

While the address is in the wrong interface it has no access to the internet.

This is the result of the show arp-table command. Please note that 192.168.10.143 doesn't have access to the internet and that 192.168.10.8 is classified both as lan1 and wan at the same time (it should be only in lan1).

    Hello ogentech,
    To analyze this case,
    please private message the packet of wan and lan1 to me, when issue occur.
    Moreover, since the IP: 192.168.10.143 and 192.168.10.8 are classified both as lan1 and wan, I would like you to double confirm the topology which is not loop. (Please share the topology of this case).
    Charlie
