How can I detect if any device on lan segment is using router

proxy-arp 

functionality? I need to turn it off but want to check first if any device has wrong mask or gtw and uses

proxy-arp

to get out of segment. Looks like only method is to monitor broadcast interface counter.

In any client show arp table, if there are many entry for differnet ip with same mac address then this router have arp proxy and reply to any ip address that client request.

If you want test connect client to lan you want to detect  dont config default gateway and make client ping to any ip.

You want to detect arp proxy in router for interface in this router or interface in other router share same lan?

Hello,

I don't think there is a way to remotely detect this. You would have to log into each L3 device and issue the command:

show ip interface

That should return a line such as:

Proxy ARP is enabled
