Configuring Proxy ARP

The address resolution protocol (ARP) helps you to query the MAC address of the destination equipment using its IP address. If you enable proxy ARP for a GNE, the GNE can answer ARP requests for other non-gateway NEs, so that you can set IP addresses of NEs of the same network in the same network segment.

Procedure

  1. In the NE Explorer, select an NE and choose Communication > IP Protocol Stack Management from the Function Tree. Click the Proxy ARP tab.
  2. Optional: Click Query.
  3. Set Value to Disabled or Enabled from the drop-down list.
  4. Click Apply.

Follow-up Procedure

After you enable proxy ARP, you need to create a static route for each NE.
