Proxy Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP)
This section describes the Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) feature.
Overview
• Proxy ARP allows a router to answer ARP requests where the target IP address is not the
router itself but a destination that the router can reach.
• If a host does not know the default gateway, proxy ARP can learn the first hop.
• Machines in one physical network appear to be part of another logical network.
• Without proxy ARP, a router responds to an ARP request only if the target IP address is an
address configured on the interface where the ARP request arrived.
CLI Examples
