Proxy ARP
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Disable
Determines whether the port can be used to supply the MAC (Media Access Control)
address of a FrameSaver unit at the other end of a PVC using ARP (Address
Resolution Protocol). This technique is used for communication between devices on
different networks but on the same subnet. Using this technique, the Default Gateway
Address is provided when there is an ARP request, and when data is sent to the
gateway, the gateway forwards the data to the appropriate device. The gateway acts as
an agent for the destination device.
Enable – Proxy ARP is enabled on the port.
Disable – The port cannot be used to acquire the IP address of a FrameSaver unit at
the other end of the PVC
