The cRIO sends an arp hello, but the router isn't ready to receive it. They both are left waiting for the other one to speak first.
The router then won't forward traffic destined for the cRIO, because the router doesn't realize that the cRIO is there (no arp table entry).

That problem was worked around by having the DS force an arp request for the cRIO, so the router would snoop it out.
How would I go about initiating this arp request? This sounds like a potential solution.
