Table 4-24. Ethernet Management Options (2 of 2)

IP Address

Possible Settings: 001.000.000.000–126.255.255.255,

128.000.000.000–223.255.255.255, Clear

Default Setting: Clear (000.000.000.000)

Specifies the IP address needed for the Ethernet management link.

001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the IP address for the Ethernet management link so it can be viewed or edited. The first octet of the address cannot be decimal 0 or 127, or greater than 223.

Clear – Fills the IP address with zeros.

Subnet Mask

Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255, Clear

Default Setting: 000.000.000.000

Specifies the IP address’s Subnet Mask for the Ethernet management link.

000.000.000.000 – 255.255.255.255 – Sets the Ethernet management link’s subnet mask. The range for each byte is 000 to 255. When set to 000.000.000.000, the IP protocol creates a default Subnet Mask based on the IP address’s class

(Class A; 255.000.000.000, Class B: 255.255.000.000, or Class C: 255.255.255.000).

Clear – Fills Subnet Mask with zeros.

Default Gateway Address

Possible Settings: 001.000.000.000–126.255.255.255,

128.000.000.000–223.255.255.255, Clear

Default Setting: 000.000.000.000

Specifies the IP address for the Ethernet management link’s default gateway, used for packets sent out the Ethernet management link that do not have a route.

001.000.000.000 – 223.255.255.255 – Shows the IP address for the Ethernet management link so the address can be edited. The first octet of the address cannot be decimal 0 or 127, or greater than 223.

Clear – Fills the default gateway’s IP address with zeros. All packets without a route are discarded.

Proxy ARP

Possible Settings: Enable, Disable

Default Setting: Disable

Determines whether the Ethernet interface can be used to supply the FrameSaver MAC address at the opposite end of a PVC by using ARP. This technique is used for communication between devices on the same network, but on the different subnets. Using this technique, the Default Gateway Address is provided when there is an ARP request. When data is sent to the gateway, the gateway forwards the data to the appropriate device. The gateway acts as an agent destination device.

Enable – Proxy ARP is enabled on the Ethernet interface.

Disable – The Ethernet interface cannot be used to acquire the FrameSaver IP address at the opposite end of the PVC.
