<h3 id="proxyarpopticonnect">Proxy ARP with OptiConnect</h3>
|
||
|
<p>Proxy address resolution protocol (ARP) allows physically distinct networks
|
||
|
to appear as if they are a single, logical network. This technique provides
|
||
|
connectivity between these physically separate networks, without creating
|
||
|
any new logical networks and without updating any route tables.</p>
|
||
|
<p>Proxy ARP allows systems that are not connected to the LAN to appear as
|
||
|
if they are. When a system on the LAN wants to send data to one of the remote
|
||
|
systems, it will do an ARP request to request the MAC (medium access control)
|
||
|
address of the target system. When the iSeries™ server sees this request, it will reply
|
||
|
to the request with the remote system's MAC address. Conversely, the system
|
||
|
that requested the ARP will send it's MAC address to the iSeries server. The
|
||
|
server will then forward the data to the remote system only if IP Forwarding
|
||
|
is set to *YES.</p>
|
||
|
<p>If you apply the above scenario in terms of OptiConnect, consider the following
|
||
|
scenario:</p>
|
||
|
<ul>
|
||
|
<li>Two physically distinct networks: a LAN and one consisting of an OptiConnect
|
||
|
bus need to communicate. In the above point-to-point configuration example,
|
||
|
we assume that all systems are connected to the same OptiConnect bus and token-ring
|
||
|
line. Suppose SYSTEM A has a token-ring connection and all access to SYSTEM
|
||
|
B and SYSTEM C has to go through it. Proxy ARP provides the necessary connectivity
|
||
|
to these physically distinct networks.</li></ul>
