<h1 class="topictitle1">Transparent subnets</h1>
<div><p>You can use transparent subnets as a way to extend the proxy
ARP concept.</p>
<p>Transparent subnets work for a single host so that you can connect to an
entire subnet or range of hosts. You can see in the follwing figure that the
stub networks (10.1.1.x through 10.1.3.x) are assigned addresses out of the
primary network address space (10.1.x.x).</p>
<br /><img src="rzajw522.gif" alt="Example of a transparent subnet" /><br /><p>The twinaxial LANs are defined in address ranges that are within the real
LAN address range. Prior to V4R2, the edits on the add TCP/IP route and add
TCP/IP interface did not allow this to happen. In V4R2 the edits were relaxed.
This allows two interfaces in different segments to have addresses that look
like they are in the same segment. When the iSeries™ server sees this happen, it automatically
performs a proxy ARP for any systems that are attached behind the twinaxial
controller. This allows all the systems on the 10.1.x.x network to communicate
with all the subnet systems with no changes to the systems on the 10.1.x.x
network.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Transparent subnetting over WANs</h4><p>The transparent
subnet function can be further expanded to handle real LANs that are remotely
located. Transparent subnetting over WANs makes remote networks appear to
be connected to the home network. In the preceding figure, three networks
are attached to the home 10.1.x.x network through the iSeries server. These networks are all
defined using a subnet mask that makes them transparent to the home network.
Proxy ARP responds to any ARP request on the home network for systems in the
10.1.1.x, 10.1.2.x and 10.1.3.x subnets. This causes the traffic for the home
network to be routed automatically to the iSeries server in the home network. This iSeries server
in turn routes the data to the correct remote iSeries server. The remote iSeries server
either processes the data, or forwards it to the correct system within the
remote LAN. The workstations in the remote LAN must have a default route that
points to the remote iSeries server in their network as the first hop
gateway. The workstations in the home LAN do not need any additional routing
entries because no new logical networks are created.</p>
