Command Usage
◆ Proxy ARP allows a non-routing device to determine the MAC address of a host
on another subnet or network.
◆ End stations that require Proxy ARP must view the entire network as a single
network. These nodes must therefore use a smaller subnet mask than that used
by the router or other relevant network devices.
◆ Extensive use of Proxy ARP can degrade router performance because it may
lead to increased ARP traffic and increased search time for larger ARP address
tables.
Example
Console(config)#interface vlan 3
Console(config-if)#ip proxy-arp
Console(config-if)#
