Disabling Arp - Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual

Disabling ARP

so only if the device is reachable through the router. To determine whether the
device is reachable, the router examines its own routing table.
Proxy ARP is required on the parent network of a stub subnet. The parent
network has an IP address range that includes the IP address range of the stub
subnet. The router responds to ARP requests sent on the parent network on
behalf of devices on the stub subnet.
When both the parent and stub subnet are bound to IP interfaces, the router can
detect the parent/stub subnet and automatically enable Proxy ARP for the
appropriate interfaces. Even if Proxy ARP is not required, and not
automatically enabled, you can still force it to be enabled with the Force Proxy
ARP parameter.
You must enable Force Proxy ARP on each LAN interface on which the router
must reply to ARP requests for destinations it can reach. Force Proxy ARP is
disabled on each interface by default.
