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)

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.
