Description
Use this command to enable proxy ARP on a specific interface. Proxy ARP allows a Brocade device
to answer ARP requests from devices on one network on behalf of devices in another network.
Because ARP requests are MAC-layer broadcasts, they reach only the devices that are directly
connected to the sender of the ARP request. Therefore, ARP requests do not cross routers.
Usage Guidelines
Enter no ip proxy-arp to disable proxy ARP on a specific interface.
Examples
To enable proxy ARP on a specific 10-gigabit Ethernet interface:
switch(config)# interface tengigabitethernet 178/0/9
switch(conf-if-te-178/0/9)# ip proxy-arp
To disable proxy ARP on a specific 40-gigabit Ethernet interface:
switch(config)# interface fortygigabitethernet 1/3/1
switch(conf-if-fo-1/3/1)# no ip proxy-arp
