Only accessible on IP if I ping out

Proxmox VE 8.2, fresh install, worked fine for about an hour then this. I have disabled firewall on the node and datacenter. The VMs are all accessible via their IPs, no issue there. But, the nodes (I have 5 nodes in a cluster), none of them are accessible 5 minutes after reboot via their IPs. They are online, not frozen, I can get to them if I plug a monitor in, AND the clincher, if I start an outbound ping to the gateway or google dns, it then becomes accessible via its IP.

When I say not accessible I mean I can't ping its IP, get to webui, nor SSH in. I have to direct connect a monitor and keyboard to it, login to cli and start pinging something outside to make it work.

It works fine the first 5 minutes after a reboot, then this.

Its not the router nor the range of IPs, I have another 20 servers with straight ubuntu on this subnet and all are fine.
 
Hi,

can you please post ip a and can you test a traceroute from and to the nodes and post the result please?

This look like an arp cache timeout on your gateway, or and mac address table timeout on your switch.
