You have to enable the ARP proxy function, if you want to realize layer 3
internetworking between ports after the layer 2 isolation is realized between ports within

enabled. ARP proxy means that the ARP request sent from one host on a network to
another isolated port on the same network or a host on another network is forwarded by
device which connects the two networks and has the ARP proxy function, and thus
realized the layer 3 internetworking between layer 2 isolated-ports.
