<h1 class="topictitle1">Proxy Address Resolution Protocol method</h1>
<div><p>This proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) method uses transparent
subnetting to associate a partition's virtual interface with an external interface.
Proxy ARP function is built into the TCP/IP stack. If you have the necessary
IP addresses, this approach is recommended.</p>
<div class="p">You might want to learn more information about transparent subnetting: <ul><li><a href="http://w3.itso.ibm.com/itsoapps/Redbooks.nsf/9445fa5b416f6e32852569ae006bb65f/baba0a045143082086256810007527b0?OpenDocument">V4 TCP/IP for AS/400<sup>®</sup>: More Cool Things Than Ever</a><img src="rbpdf.gif" alt="Link to PDF" /> <p>This IBM<sup>®</sup> Redbook provides sample scenarios that
demonstrate common solutions with example configurations. It also helps you
plan, install, tailor, configure, and troubleshoot TCP/IP on your iSeries™ server.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="../rzajw/rzajwkickoff.htm">TCP/IP
routing and workload balancing</a> <p>This topic provides techniques and
instructions for routing and workload balancing.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>If you choose to use the proxy ARP method, you must have a firm understanding
of subnetting and TCP/IP. You need to obtain a contiguous block of IP addresses
that are routable by your network. You subnet this block of IP addresses.
In this example, a contiguous block of four IP addresses (<samp class="codeph">10.1.1.72</samp> through <samp class="codeph">10.1.1.75</samp>)
is used. Because it is a block of four IP addresses, the subnet mask for these
addresses is <samp class="codeph">255.255.255.252</samp>. You assign one to each of the
virtual TCP/IP interfaces on your partitions as shown in this figure.</p>
<p><br /><img src="rzai2505.gif" alt="Figure illustrates virtual TCP/IP interfaces on partition A and partition B and the external proxy ARP interface" /><br /></p>
<p>In this example, TCP/IP traffic from partition A runs across the virtual
Ethernet to the <samp class="codeph">10.1.1.74</samp> interface on partition B. Because<samp class="codeph">10.1.1.74</samp> is
associated with the external proxy ARP interface <samp class="codeph">10.1.1.15</samp>,
the packets continue out of the virtual Ethernet using the proxy ARP interface.</p>
<p>To configure a virtual Ethernet to use the proxy ARP connection method,
complete these configuration tasks. </p>
