PROXY ARP
This feature allows the network portion of a group of addresses to be shared among several
physical network segments. The ARP protocol provides a way for devices to create a mapping
between physical addresses and logical IP addresses. Proxy ARP makes use of this mapping
feature by instructing a router to answer ARP requests as a "proxy" for the IP addresses behind
one of its ports. The device which sent the ARP request will then correctly assume that it can
reach the requested IP address by sending packets to the physical address that was returned. This
technique effectively hides the fact that a network has been (further) subnetted. If this option is
set to
YES, when an ARP request is received on the Ethernet port the address is looked up in the
IP routing table. If the forwarding port is not on the Ethernet port and the route is not the default
route, the unit will answer the request with its own hardware address. Default is
NO.
SECONDARY IP
This allows the unit to specify additional IP addresses and networks on its Ethernet. The maximum
number of entries is 5.
NUM
Displays the index number in the secondary IP list.
IP ADDRESS
This is the second IP address the unit will respond to on the Ethernet. Default is 0.0.0.0.
SUBNET MASK
This is the mask for the network. Default is 255.255.255.255.
