Conﬁguration

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Conﬁguration screen (#111) in

Figure 11-7 is displayed when you press the

[Go To ARP] function key at

Figure 11-7 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

100Base-T network using the Ethernet protocol 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 network 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.
