1.7 Configuring Inter-VLAN Proxy ARP
Inter-VLAN proxy ARP enables hosts in different sub-VLANs of a super-VLAN to
communicate with each other.
1.7.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring inter-VLAN proxy ARP, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the
configuration. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
The VLAN aggregation technology isolates broadcast domain by using multiple VLANs on a
physical network so that different VLANs belong to the same subnet. This technology introduces
the super-VLAN and sub-VLAN. A super-VLAN contains one or more sub-VLANs in different
broadcast domains. A sub-VLAN does not occupy an independent subnet segment. In a super-
VLAN, IP addresses of hosts in different sub-VLANs are on the subnet segment corresponding
to the super-VLAN.
Sub-VLANs use the same Layer 3 interface to communicate. This reduces subnet IDs and subnet
default gateway addresses. The VLAN aggregation function allows different broadcast domains
to use the same subnet address, implements flexible addressing, and saves IP addresses.
Hosts in different sub-VLANs of a super-VLAN cannot communicate with each other. To enable
these hosts to communicate with each other, you can enable inter-VLAN proxy ARP on the sub-
interface or VLANIF interface corresponding to the super-VLAN.
