B.2 CONFIGURING ARP REQUEST PACKETS
The EMM-E6’s SNMP Tools Screen allows you to generate an Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP) Request packet utilizing specific framing
through local management. An ARP Request is used to send an SNMP
Trap to a destination node that has not yet made or established contact
with the EMM-E6. This situation may occur when the destination node in
question has been moved from one port or channel interface of the
EMM-E6 to another location and has not yet transmitted information
which would notify the EMM-E6 of its network location. The generation
of ARP Request packets in such a situation would allow the EMM-E6 to
locate the reconfigured station without waiting for that station to transmit.
rptrScrAddrMgmtHashType
Description: Forces the EMM-E6 to utilize a specific framing
type for any ARP Request packet. The values entered determine
the framing type utilized for the ARP packet. Please note that any
changes to the framing type to be utilized for ARP requests will
take effect after the next soft reset of the EMM-E6.
