Enabling Proxy ARP Anyway

This section describes how to enable proxy ARP anyway on a gateway to interconnect different subnets of an IP network when the gateways connected to VMs have the same IP address.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface interface-type interface-number [ .subinterface-number ]

    The interface view is displayed.

  3. Run arp proxy anyway enable

    Proxy ARP anyway is enabled on the interface.

    After proxy ARP anyway is enabled on a device, you need to shorten the aging time of dynamic ARP entries to make them invalid as soon as possible. This can reduce the number of received packets that cannot be forwarded on the device.

  4. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.
