a3IParpReqFormat
Module: A3COM-IPEXTNS-R5-MIB
OID (symbolic): A3COM-IPEXTNS-R5-MIB::a3IParpReqFormat
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.6.13.1.4
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This parameter specifies the Ethernet header format used for ARP requests. If this is set to ethernet (1), ARP sends requests with an Ethernet Version 2 header. If this is set to snap (2), ARP sends requests with the IEEE 802.2 and 802.3 headers, including the Snap extension. If this is set to both (3), ARP sends two request packets, one with Ethernet format and one with the Snap extensions. If this is set to auto(128), the default request format is based on the media type of the interface with which this parameter is associated.
When GETting the value of this object, the first three enumerations (ethernet, snap, and both) are returned if this parmeter was explicitly set to one of these values. If this parameter was set to auto(128), either ethAuto(129), snapAuto(130), or bothAuto(131) will be returned, depending on which header format is the most appropriate (which is based on the media type of the associated interface).
This object corresponds to the UI parameter: -arp RequestFormat.
What is a3IParpReqFormat?
Controls whether ARP requests use Ethernet Version 2 headers, IEEE 802.2/802.3 SNAP headers, or both formats simultaneously. Network engineers configure this to ensure ARP compatibility with different network frame types and protocols on the same link. Setting it to 'both' sends duplicate ARP requests in both formats to reach all devices—for example, value 3 indicates dual-format sending for maximum compatibility.
