<h1 class="topictitle1">Proxy Address Resolution Protocol routing</h1>
<div><p>Proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) provides connectivity between
physically separate networks without creating any new logical networks and
without updating any routing tables. This topic also contains a description
of transparent subnets, which is an extension to the proxy ARP routing technique.</p>
<p>ARP routing allows physically distinct, separate networks to appear as
if they were a single logical network. It allows systems that are not directly
connected to a LAN to appear to other systems on the LAN as though they are
connected. This is useful in dial-up scenarios to provide connections to the
entire network from a dial-in interface. The following figure shows a possible
scenario. The 10.1.1.x is your home LAN and the 10.1.1.65 through 10.1.1.68
are your remote systems.</p>
<br /><img src="rzajw500.gif" alt="ProxyARP" /><br /><p>When a system on your home LAN (10.1.1.x) wants to send data to one of
your remote systems, it will first do an ARP request. This is a broadcast
that goes out to all your systems attached to the LAN segment to request the
address of the target system. However, a remotely connected system will not
see the broadcast. This is where the proxy ARP comes in. The iSeries™ server
knows which systems are connected remotely. If your iSeries server sees an ARP request for
one of your remotely connected machines, your iSeries server will reply to the ARP
request with its address. Your iSeries server in turn receives the data
and forwards it to the remote system. For this forwarding to take place, IP
forwarding must be set to *yes. If your remote system is not connected, your iSeries server
will not reply to the ARP request and the requesting system will not send
data.</p>
<p>You can use transparent subnets as a proxy for an entire subnet, or range
of hosts. Transparent subnetting allows stub networks to be assigned addresses
out of the primary network address space.</p>
