PROXYARP

Is proxy ARP on by default on PIX firewalls? I've got a PIX 525. Is there a way I can tell if it is or not?

I believe it is on by default. Looking at my firewalls (6.3 versions) it looks to be on.

Excerpt from Cisco doc:--

Check to see if proxy ARP is disabled. Issue the command show running-config sysopt in PIX/ASA 7.x or show sysopt in PIX 6.x.

Here proxy ARP is disabled by the command sysopt noproxyarp outside:

ciscoasa#show running-config sysopt

no sysopt connection timewait

sysopt connection tcpmss 1380

sysopt connection tcpmss minimum 0

no sysopt nodnsalias inbound

no sysopt nodnsalias outbound

no sysopt radius ignore-secret

sysopt noproxyarp outside

sysopt connection permit-vpn

In order to re-enable proxy ARP, enter this command in global configuration mode:

ciscoasa(config)#no sysopt noproxyarp outside

When i checked my firewalls there was no

sysopt noproxyarp "interface" statements so i'm assuming this means it is on by default.

sh run, if you see "sysopt noproxyarp inside"

proxy arp is disabled. if you don't see it, it is enabled. Default is enabled.
