As an ISP I’m trying to setup a customer network based on privat vlan:s so that I can use fairly large network masks (and thereby save addresses) but still stop them from seeing eachothers broadcasts, just as most other ISP:s does on their DSL-lines and most other internet connections.
Problem is that I cannot find a function similar to Ciscos Local Proxy-ARP, which short said means proxy-arping on just one physical interface.
Is there someone who has an idea of what the function could be called and where it could be found?
Or might it actually be so that it’s not yet implemented?
I did some experimenting, and this works. You have to use a bridge interface, but you don't have to use more than one interface. Hope this helps. There is also a bug in the winbox interface which don't allow you to set gratious arp to no, you have to set it to auto instead. I can not guarantee that it is 100% Cisco compatible, but I think it is.
This is local proxy-arp on ether1 for the 192.168.88.0/24 net
/interface ethernet
set ether1 mac-address=00:01:02:03:04:05
Dear, mikrotik! What do you think about the “loсal proxy arp”. It exists in many L3 routers. Why not?
This functionality is very requested by many operators.
Thank you!
