I do remember one specific topology (DMS switches with EIUs and etc), where proxy-arp was used as a requirement in some configurations. And, of course, changing a default that could break things is a bad idea. PS: (I do remember cisco changing some defaults, ip subnet-zero I think ?, but they really try hard to not break things :-) _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
