Using the Address Translation Table

The Address Translation Table window; editing the Address Translation Table

The Address Translation Table utilizes ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) to
translate IP addresses into Physical addresses. ARP is used to achieve mapping
between IP addresses which are 32 bits in length and Physical addresses which
are 48 bits in length. The Address Translation Table window lets you view and
modify the translation of an interface’s IP address to its corresponding Physical
address. You may want to change the mapping if you have installed new
hardware in an SNMP device; the Physical address has changed, but the logical IP
address remains the same.
To open the Address Translation Table from the System Group window:
1. Click on the Other Groups button. The Other Groups drop-down menu
displays.
2. Click on Address Translation. The Address Translation Table window,
Figure 4-1, opens.
