Proxy ARP [Address Resolution Protocol]

The animated TECHTip Tutorial is available here.

Proxy ARP [Address Resolution Protocol] is the default feature on Cisco routers. This is a simple means of creating fault-tolerant networks with one or more additional routers. Each router can respond to user/workstation requests if the router can reach (send/receive) the IP [Internet Protocol] address. Each workstation can dynamically access multiple routers from the LAN [Local Area Network]. If any router fails, the workstation can immediately access other routers on the internetwork (network). Users can access this feature by changing their Windows setting default gateway.
