Configuring Inverse ATM1 or ATM2 ARP
For ATM1 and ATM2 IQ interfaces, you can configure inverse ATM Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), as described in RFC 2225, Classical IP and ARP over ATM. When inverse ATM ARP is enabled, the router responds to received inverse ATM ARP requests by providing IP address information to the requesting ATM device.
The router does not initiate inverse ATM ARP requests.
By default, inverse ATM ARP is disabled. To configure a VC to respond to inverse ATM ARP requests, include the inverse-arp statement:
For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can include this statement, see inverse-arp.
You must configure ATM LLC subnetwork attachment point (SNAP) encapsulation on the logical interface to support inverse ARP. No other ATM encapsulation types are allowed. For more information, see Configuring ATM Interface Encapsulation.
