Apologies upfront for my not being able to successfully google this on my o=
wn...

Is there an RFC or other standard that specifies that IPv4 connected
devices must support the concepts of Subnet Mask and Default Gateway?

I have a kludgy (<- technical term) vendor that has developed a custom
AP that only has an IP address.  Whilst cleaning up our network and
turning off proxy-arp, lo and behold, it isn't really all that
functional anymore.

Thanks in advance, replies off-list welcome.
