ARPThe Dell Networking OS uses two forms of address resolution: address resolution protocol (ARP) and
Proxy ARP.
ARP runs over Ethernet and enables endstations to learn the MAC addresses of neighbors on an IP
network. Over time, the system creates a forwarding table mapping the MAC addresses to their
corresponding IP address. This table is called the ARP Cache and dynamically learned addresses are
removed after a defined period of time.
For more information about ARP, refer to RFC 826, An Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol.
In the Dell Networking OS, Proxy ARP enables hosts with knowledge of the network to accept and
forward packets from hosts that contain no knowledge of the network. Proxy ARP makes it possible for
hosts to be ignorant of the network, including subnetting.
For more information about Proxy ARP, refer to RFC 925, Multi-LAN Address Resolution, and RFC 1027,
Using ARP to Implement Transparent Subnet Gateways.
