Local proxy ARP
As shown in Figure 164, Host A and Host B belong to VLAN 2, but are isolated at Layer 2. Host A
connects to Ethernet 1/3 while Host B connects to Ethernet 1/1. Enable local proxy ARP on Router to
allow Layer 3 communication between the two hosts.
Figure 164 Application environment of local proxy ARP
Enable local proxy ARP in one of the following cases:
Hosts connecting to different isolated Layer 2 ports in the same VLAN need to communicate at
Layer 3.
If a super VLAN is configured, hosts in different sub VLANs of the super VLAN need to communicate
at Layer 3.
If an isolate-user-VLAN is configured, hosts in different secondary VLANs of the isolate-user-VLAN
need to communicate at Layer 3.
