Yes, ARP is for a simple small deployment in a non-routed environment (you COULD use it in a routed environment but you would need to do some altogether unhealthy things to your network).
VLAN deployments work on routed or non-routed networks and are more scalable, secure, and dependable ... in short ... better (IMHO) Jake Sallee Godfather Of Bandwidth Network Engineer Fone: 254-295-4658 Phax: 254-295-4221 From: Ming Tao Ling [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 11:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Packetfence-users] ARP Mode vs VLAN Mode Another question. I have some basic knowledge of what is ARP and what is VLAN. Please tell me why PF uses ARP and VLAN to name its configuration mode. My guess is ARP mode is for simple LAN, VLAN mode is for routed segmented VLAN scinario. Thank you.
