If your network configuration requires it, click the button to enable the appliance to accept
multicast ARP replies.
Enable this feature if this system is connected to an IPSO cluster. Because all the nodes of an

directly or through a switch or hub) must be able to accept ARP replies that contain a
multicast MAC address.
