Manage the ARP proxy

By default, the ARP proxy is enabled on the access point, allowing it to inspect all ARP
broadcast packets for its clients. In this way, the access point responds to ARP requests
for its clients, preventing unnecessary broadcast traffic on the radios.
For information about the ARP statistics, including the number of proxied and dropped
packets, see View WiFi and Ethernet traffic, traffic and ARP statistics, and channel
utilization on page 192.
To manage the ARP proxy:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
