Check Contents

This requirement is not applicable for the DODIN Backbone.

Review the router configuration to determine if IP Proxy ARP is disabled on all external interfaces as shown in the example below:

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
description link to DISN
ip address x.1.12.2 255.255.255.252
no ip proxy-arp

Note: By default Proxy ARP is enabled on all interfaces; hence, if enabled, it will not be shown in the configuration.

If IP Proxy ARP is enabled on any external interface, this is a finding.
