Figure 5-7 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Conﬁguration Screen

This screen allows you to conﬁgure the information required for the

address resolution protocol (ARP). The ARP protocol exists on an

Ethernet LAN network to provide a means of exchanging addressing

information between Ethernet nodes. With the concurrent

conﬁguration of IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet, both the probe and ARP

protocols broadcast requests to all nodes on the LAN to resolve the LAN

station address of a given remote node.

Press the

[Save Data] function key to transfer the data displayed on the

screen to the conﬁguration ﬁle you are creating or modifying. Verify

that the data record has been created by checking that the Data ﬂag is

set to Y.
