19-10 IP Configuration
Defaults
None.

Globalconfiguration:B5(su)‐>router(Config)#
Usage
TheIPaddressspecifiedforthestaticARPentrymustfallwithinoneofthesubnetsornetworks
definedontheroutedinterfacesofthesystem(orstack,ifapplicable).Thesystemcanthenmatch
theIPaddressofthestaticARPentrywiththeappropriateroutedinterfaceandassociate
itwith

Usage
ThisvariationoftheARPprotocolallowstheroutertosendanARPresponseonbehalfofanend
nodetotherequestinghost.ProxyARPcanbeusedtoresolveroutingissuesonendstationsthat
areunabletorouteinthesubnettedenvironment.TheEnterasysB5willanswerto
ARPrequests
onbehalfoftargetedendstationsonneighboringnetworks.Itisdisabledbydefault.
