3.6.1ARP Translation

The ARP translation options are intended to compensate for any likely implementation of IP's ARP on 802.5 Token Rings. The possibilities for option are the following:

Off – no special ARP translation to be performed

Bitswap1 – embedded MAC addresses for ARP packets with hardware type 1 (Ethernet) will be bit swapped (this applies to all ARP packets received by the port, and to all ARP packets to be transmitted by the port).

Bitswap6 – embedded MAC addresses for ARP packets with hardware type 6 (IEEE 802) will be bit swapped (this applies to all ARP packets received by the port, and to all ARP packets to be transmitted by the port).

Bitswap61 – both type 1 and type 6 ARP packets will be bit swapped.

Oneto6 – incoming type 6 ARP packets will be changed to type 1 and outgoing type 1 ARP packets will be changed to type 6, both without bit swapping.
