Hi
I have this setup:
R1 -> | fa0/1
SW1 (vlan 2)
R2 -> | fa0/2
Two routers connected to a SW1 on the same vlan. Fa0/2 and fa0/1 had switchport protected configured. SW1 has a SVI 2 configured with ip local-proxy arp.
I'm trying to setup for these two routers to talk to each other through a the SVI 2 only and not directly. They can not communicate with each other directly because of the protected switchport but the local-proxy arp does not seem to be working.
Any idea what could be wrong?
All devices are on the same subnet and vlan (verified).
Doing an arp debug i see the requests but no responses.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Tomek,
I wonder - do you have the Proxy ARP service enabled globally and/or on the SVI interface? Try entering these commands please:
no ip arp proxy disable
int vlan2
ip proxy-arp
ip local-proxy-arp
Best regards,
Peter

Peter,
Thank you for your response. I did have proxy arp enabled globally, but I didn't have the proxy-arp under the svi just the ip local-proxy-arp... oh and I had another silly mistake I didn't have "ip routing" enabled on that switch...
Thank you for you help.
Tom
