Defining an Adjacent Host
An adjacent host is a device on a locally attached network. This device may or
may not be a router. You must configure a media access control (MAC) address for
each adjacent host that does not implement the Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP).
Also, if a local network does implement ARP, you may want to configure a MAC
address for an adjacent host to preempt the ARP process.
You can use Site Manager to specify and supply
• The state (active or inactive) of the adjacent host in the IP routing tables.
• The IP address of the device for which you want to configure an adjacent host.
• The IP address of the router’s network interface to the adjacent host.
• The subnet mask of the IP address specified for the Next Hop Addr parameter.
• The physical address of the adjacent host. This value can be a
48-bit Ethernet address, a 64-bit SMDS address, an ATM PVC VPI/VCI
address, or for an ATM SVC, the address of the ATM interface.
• The adjacent host’s encapsulation method.
• The X.121 address of the adjacent host (for a PDN
/X.25, DDN/X.25, or
BFE
/X.25 connection).
