Re: Please help in understanding.

Thanks Ahmad and Peter for clarifying this.

RFC 2390

"For every InARP request, the receiving station should format a proper
response using the source addresses from the request as the target addresses
of the response. If the station is unable or unwilling to reply, it ignores
the request."

According to my previous knowledge, Cisco routers when receive any inarp
requests it always reply and there is no way to stop this behavior, only
possible thing is to stop outgoing requests but not replies...

Can some one shed some light on above two ideas?
