Proxy ARP question

Sun Aug 17, 2014 11:43 am

Hi all

From http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/ARP

" router with properly configured proxy ARP feature acts like a transparent ARP proxy between directly connected networks."

Will a Mikrotik router respond to ARP requests to an IP not directly connect if it has a route to that IP?

I have this requirement (I tested it in GNS3 with Cisco and it seems to work, not sure if this is by design or not).

Thanks

A

It is by design.
