(Optional) Configuring the Application Server IP Address
Context
In addition to the gateway, application servers such as the DHCP, multicast, or other types of servers may be deployed on a network. When users access an application server whose IP address is not specified on the MFF-enabled device, the MFF-enabled device forwards user traffic to the gateway. The gateway then forwards it to the application server. This increases uplink traffic, consumes bandwidth, and wastes forwarding resources on the gateway.
To address this problem, specify IP addresses of accessible application servers on the MFF-enabled device. MFF provides a mechanism that is similar to ARP proxy to process such traffic, so users can correctly access all the specified application servers and directly communicate with application servers at Layer 2.
