Configuring ARP proxy

About this task

With an ARP proxy, the switch can respond to an ARP request from a locally attached host or end station for a remote destination. Proxy ARP does so by sending an ARP response back to the local host with its own MAC address of the router interface for the subnet on which the ARP request was received. The reply is generated only if the system has an active route to the destination network.
