•
Proxy ARP Status: Specifies the status of the Proxy ARP feature on the AP device. When two clients connected to
an AP device tries to communicate, they send an ARP request to get the MAC address of the destined client. AP
device responds to this ARP request and looks for the MAC address of the destined client in its Proxy ARP table.
On finding the MAC address, AP device forwards it to the client, without disturbing all the other wireless stations
on the network. Client then updates its ARP table with the MAC address and forwards the ICMP packet to the
intended station via AP device.
Functioning as a Proxy ARP, the AP device helps:
— To reduce unnecessary flow of broadcast traffic to all the stations, without disturbing every wireless
station on the network.
— Power save the stations as they need not wake up for ARP broadcasts.
— The clients to learn the MAC addresses faster.
By default, Proxy ARP Status is disabled. To enable this feature, select Enable from the drop down menu.
3. Click OK, to save the changes.
