Configuring Arp - D-Link Web Smart DES-3252P Install Manual

Configuring ARP

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) converts IP addresses into physical addresses, and maps the IP address
to a MAC address. ARP allows a host to communicate with other hosts only when the IP address of its neighbors
is known. To define ARP information:
1. Click Basic Setup > IP Configuration > IP Addressing > ARP. The ARP Page opens:
Figure 104:ARP Page
The ARP Page contains the following fields:
