MP Access Point Commands
12 – 301
If the ARP request is for a client with an IP address not on the MX, the MX allows MP radios to
send the ARP request to clients. If the no-broadcast mode is also enabled, the MP radios send the
ARP request as a unicast to only the clients with unknown addresses on the MX. However, if
no-broadcast mode is disabled, the MP radios sends the ARP request as a broadcast to all clients
on the SSID.
Syntax
set service-profile profile-name proxy-arp {enable | disable}
Defaults
Proxy ARP is disabled by default.
Access
Enabled.
History
Introduced in MSS Version 4.2.
Usage
To further reduce broadcast traffic on a service profile, use the set service-profile
no-broadcast command to disable DHCP and ARP request broadcasts.
Examples
The following command enables proxy ARP on service profile sp1:
MX# set service-profile sp1 proxy-arp enable
success: change accepted.
