# 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.
