Enables the no-broadcast mode. APs are not allowed to send broadcast traffic
to clients on the service profile’s SSID.
Disables the no-broadcast mode.
set service-profile proxy-arp
Enables proxy ARP. When proxy ARP is enabled, the DWS-1008 replies to ARP requests for
client IP address on behalf of the clients. This feature reduces broadcast overhead on a service
profile’s SSID by eliminating ARP broadcasts from APs to the SSID’s clients.
If the ARP request is for a client whose IP address the DWS-1008 does not already know, the
DWS-1008 allows DWL-8220Aps to send the ARP request to clients. If the no-broadcast mode
is also enabled, the APs send the ARP request as a unicast to only the clients whose addresses
the DWS-1008 does not know. However, if no-broadcast mode is disabled, the APs sends the
ARP request as a broadcast to all clients on the SSID.
