When proxy ARP is enabled, the WSS replies to ARP requests for client IP address on behalf ofthe clients. This feature reduces broadcast overhead on a service profile’s SSID by eliminating ARP broadcasts from APradios to the SSID’s clients.If the ARP request is for a client whose IP address the WSS does not already know, the WSS allows AP radios to sendthe ARP request to clients. If the no-broadcast mode is also enabled, the AP radios send the ARP request as a unicast toonly the clients whose addresses the WSS does not know. However, if no-broadcast mode is disabled, the AP radiossends the ARP request as a broadcast to all clients on the SSID.Syntax set service-profile name proxy-arp {enable | disable}Defaults Proxy ARP is disabled by default.Access Enabled.History Introduced in WSS Software Version 4.1.name Service profile name.enable Enables the no-broadcast mode.
