To make the change persist through reboots, edit the /etc/sysctl.d/arp.conf file and add your port-specific ARP setting. Configure Proxy ARP. When you enable proxy ARP, if the switch receives an ARP request for which it has a route to the destination IP address, the switch sends a proxy ARP reply that contains its own MAC address. NOTE: As of kernel 2.2.0 it is no longer possible to set an ARP entry for an entire subnet. Linux instead does automagic proxy arp when a route exists and it is forwarding. See arp(7) for details. Also the dontpub option which is available for delete and set operations cannot be used with 2.4 and newer kernels. -f filename, --file filename Issue summary: I have a real interface "vif10" and a virtual interface (using VRRP) "vrrp.1", both having the same IPv4 address.

To enter Linux environment you need to enter the expert mode.From the documentation you must create manual proxy arp if you are doing manual static NAT.You can add proxy arp in the following methods: 1. # The next line enables proxy arp for IPv4 on the main Ethernet port only net.ipv4.conf.enp3s0.proxy_arp = 1 The other way is more generic and will apply to all interfaces: # Apply proxy arp for anyone net.ipv4.conf.all.proxy_arp = 1 Then sudo sysctl -p and you are good Machine A uses an ARP request, but this time the Linux kernel arp code notes that the request isn't coming from the network 1 interface (eth1), and so doesn't respond with the Proxy address of eth1. Instead, it sends the ARP request on the network 0 interface (eth0), where machine B will see it and respond with it's own (real) hardware

Proxy ARP is a technique by which a proxy device on a given network answers the ARP queries for an IP address that is not on that network. The proxy is aware of the location of the traffic's destination, and offers its own MAC address as the (ostensibly final) destination.

arp command manipulates the System’s ARP cache. It also allows a complete dump of the ARP cache. ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. The primary function of this protocol is to resolve the IP address of a system to its mac address, and hence it works between level 2(Data link layer) and level 3(Network layer).
