B.2 CONFIGURING ARP REQUEST PACKETS

The EMM-E6’s SNMP Tools Screen allows you to generate an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Request packet utilizing specific framing through local management. An ARP Request is used to send an SNMP Trap to a destination node that has not yet made or established contact with the EMM-E6. This situation may occur when the destination node in question has been moved from one port or channel interface of the EMM-E6 to another location and has not yet transmitted information which would notify the EMM-E6 of its network location. The generation of ARP Request packets in such a situation would allow the EMM-E6 to locate the reconfigured station without waiting for that station to transmit.

rptrScrAddrMgmtHashType

Description: Forces the EMM-E6 to utilize a specific framing type for any ARP Request packet. The values entered determine the framing type utilized for the ARP packet. Please note that any changes to the framing type to be utilized for ARP requests will take effect after the next soft reset of the EMM-E6.
