arp-reply-agent
Syntax arp-reply-agent [sub-ident]
no arp-reply-agent
Context config>service>vpls>sap
Description This command enables a special ARP response mechanism in the system for ARP requests destined
to static or dynamic hosts associated with the SAP. The system responds to each ARP request using
the hosts MAC address as the both the source MAC address in the Ethernet header and the target
hardware address in the ARP header.
ARP replies and requests received on a SAP with arp-reply-agent enabled will be evaluated by the
system against the anti-spoof filter entries associated with the ingress SAP (if the SAP has anti-spoof
filtering enabled). ARPs from unknown hosts on the SAP will be discarded when anti-spoof filtering
is enabled.
