 Re: How to view the automatic proxy arps NGX
If you're using multicast MAC addresses, then you may need to update your nexthop devices with static ARP entries.
You should be using the virtual MAC so that if the primary node fails, the other node will start accepting traffic destined to that MAC, and the surrounding devices will not notice any change.
If you use the real MAC address of each node, what is to stop the secondary responding to ARP requests? And if the primary fails, then all surrounding devices will need to update their ARP caches before traffic will start flowing through the secondary. |
