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
