Static ARP Settings
The Address Resolution Protocol is a TCP/IP protocol that converts IP addresses into physical addresses. This
table allows network managers to view, define, modify, and delete ARP information for specific devices. Static
entries can be defined in the ARP table. When static entries are defined, a permanent entry is entered and is used
to translate IP addresses to MAC addresses.
To view the following window, click
Management > ARP > Static ARP Settings
, as show below:

Proxy ARP Settings
The Proxy ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) feature of the Switch will allow the Switch to reply to ARP requests
destined for another device by faking its identity (IP and MAC Address) as the original ARP responder. Therefore,
the Switch can then route packets to the intended destination without configuring static routing or a default gateway.
