Fix Recommendation

Disable Proxy ARP on all external interfaces as shown in the example below:

SW1(config)#int g0/1
SW1(config-if)#no ip proxy-arp

Check Contents

Review the switch 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.
