# Configuring Proxy ARP

Use the following procedure to configure proxy ARP on the switch.

Proxy ARP allows the switch to respond to an ARP request from a locally attached host (or end station) for a remote destination.

## Prerequisites

- Enable IP routing globally.

- Enable IP routing and configure an IP address on the VLAN to be configured as a Proxy ARP interface.

## Procedure steps

1. From the navigation tree, double-click IP Routing.

2. In the IP Routing tree, double-click IP.

3. In the work area, click the ARP Interfaces tab.

   | Important
   | EDM does not display the ARP Interfaces tab if you have not enabled routing on the switch.

4. In the table, double-click the cell under the column heading for the parameter you want to change.

5. Select enable or disable from the drop-down list.

6. Repeat the previous two steps until you have amended all of the parameters you want to change.

7. In the toolbar, click Apply.
