Ensure Automatic ARP Configuration NAT is enabled
MediumLevel 2Manual reviewcheckpoint
Description
Proxy ARP is a mechanism that allows the configuration of a Gateway to respond to ARP requests on behalf of other hosts.
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
Verify Automatic ARP Configuration NAT under Global Properties is enabled. SmartConsole > Gateways & Servers > select each Gateway > NAT - Network Address Translation Verify Automatic ARP Configuration NAT is checked.
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
SmartConsole > Gateways & Servers > select each Gateway > NAT - Network Address Translation: check Automatic ARP Configuration (the CIS text says 'Unchecked', which contradicts the recommendation).
