by-default in this version "sysopt noproxyarp <int>" has been enabled. The problem with this default setting is, static one-to-one nat is not happing. Even i m not getting arp of natted ip in appliance itself.

But if i apply "no sysopt noproxyarp <int>", static one-to-one nat is happing as well as getting arp of natted ip in appliance. Please let me know whtats the reason behind this

Hi by adding the command no sysopt noproxyarp you are actually allowing the Firewall to do proxy arps on behalf of your hosts which should be the correct set and default set up. However as you have done .. I have found instances when I have to do a no sysopt noproxyarp manually ( allowing the pIx to respond to ARP requests on the respective interface ).

I hope it helps ... please rate if it it does !!!
