Enable or Disable ARP on a Port

After you assign the IP address, you can configure ARP. By default, ARP Response is enabled and Proxy ARP is disabled.

Before you begin

To perform this procedure on a non-default VRF, you must first change the VRF instance. For information about how to use EDM for a non-default VRF, see Select and Launch a VRF Context View. All parameters might not be available in non-default VRFs.

Procedure

  1. In the Device Physical View tab, select a port.
  2. In the navigation pane, expand: Configuration > Edit > Port.
  3. Select IP.
  4. Select the ARP tab.
  5. In DoProxy, select enable to enable the Proxy ARP function.
  6. In DoResp, select enable to configure the system to respond to an ARP. The default is enable.
  7. Select Apply.

    The ARP function is available only when the port or VLAN is routed; that is, it is assigned an IP address.
