Starting Point
This procedure assumes that you have signed on as root and have or will configure modems, modem
scripts, devices, and filters for routes that use serial lines.
Procedure
1. Configure the links over which packets will be routed using a set user command. This command
must specify (on the ipaddr field) a specific IP address for the remote system using the Proxy
ARP service.
2. Configure PortServer TS 8/16 for Proxy ARP by supplying a set forwarding command that spec-
ifies the following:
• state=passive
• proxyarp=on
Example
In this example, PortServer TS 8/16 provides Proxy ARP services to a remote host.
set user name=link1...ipaddr=187.155.24.11
set forwarding state=passive proxyarp=on
