Enable Virtual

 

When selected, virtual fragmentation reassembly (VFR) is enabled on this

Fragment Reassembly

interface.

(VFR)

 

When deselected, disables VFR. This is the default.

 

 

 

 

VFR is a feature that enables the Cisco IOS Firewall to create dynamic ACLs

 

 

that can protect the network from various fragmentation attacks. For more

Enable Proxy ARP

When selected, enables proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) on the

 

 

interface. This is the default.

 

 

When deselected, disables proxy ARP.

 

 

Proxy ARP, defined in RFC 1027, is the technique in which one host, usually

 

 

a router, answers ARP requests intended for another machine, thereby

 

 

accepting responsibility for routing packets to the real destination. Proxy

 

 

ARP can help machines on a subnet reach remote subnets without

 

 

configuring routing or a default gateway.

 

 

Enable NBAR Protocol

When selected, enables network-based application recognition (NBAR) on

Discovery

 

this interface to discover traffic and keep traffic statistics for all protocols

 

 

known to NBAR.

 

 

When deselected, disables NBAR. This is the default.

 

 

Protocol discovery provides a method to discover application protocols

 

 

traversing an interface so that QoS policies can be developed and applied to

 

 

them. For more information, go to:
