Proxy ARP
This window is used to view and configure the proxy ARP settings. The Proxy ARP feature of the Switch
will allow the Switch to reply to ARP requests destined for another device by faking its identity (IP and
MAC Address) as the original ARP responder. Therefore, the Switch can then route packets to the
intended destination without configuring static routing or a default gateway. The host, usually a Layer 3
switch, will respond to packets destined for another device.
To view the following window, click L3 Features > ARP > Proxy ARP, as shown below:
