Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Address Resolution Protocol, as specified in RFC 826, is supported in the router.
Up to 265 ARP Table entries are supported, and a timeout period for complete and
incomplete ARP Table entries can be configured.
NOTE:
ARP is not available on the DSL interface when PPPoE is enabled for the
ReachDSL Router.
ARP requests and responses are not processed on the DSL interface when the
interface is configured to support RFC 1483 PDU routing (Standard mode). Refer
to
Routed vs. Bridged PDUs on page 3-13 for more information.
