MacAddress
|
The MAC address that this cache entry provides a translation. Since ATM LAN Emulation uses an ARP protocol to locate the broadcast/unknown server, the value may be the broadcast MAC address.
The value could also be a multicast or group MAC address.
Unicast MAC addresses should be unique within any given ATM emulated LAN. However, there is no requirement that they be unique across disjointed emulated LANs.
|
AtmAddress
|
The non-multiplexed, LEC or broadcast/multicast service ATM address that corresponds to the MacAddress.
This value may be determined using the ARP procedure, through source address learning, or through some other mechanisms.
Note: Some agents may provide write access to this object. The effect of attempting to write an ATM address to a learned row is undefined. Agents may disallow the write, accept the write and change the row's type, or even accept the write as-is.

IsRemoteAddress
|
Indicates whether the entry is for a local or remote MAC address. Entries include:
Local: This is a MAC address that is local to the remote client.
True: Address is believed to be remote or its status is unknown.
For an entry created using ARP, this represents the remote address flag being set in the ARP response. During a topology change period, remote ARP entries generally age-out faster than others. That is, they are subject to ForwardDelayTime and AgingTime.
False: Address is believed to be local. That is, it was registered with the LES by the client whose ATM address is AtmAddress.
For an entry created using ARP, this represents the remote address flag being set in the ARP response.

EntryType
|
Indicates how the ARP table entry was created and whether it is aged.
