3.11.4 Maximum number of remote devices
The following describes the maximum number of remote devices that the Switch can communicate with over a connected LAN. Remote devices here include terminals as well as routers.
- <Structure of this section>
(1) ARP entries
For IPv4, the hardware address corresponding to the destination address of the packet to be sent is determined by ARP in the LAN. Thus, the number of ARP entries determines the maximum number of remote devices for an IPv4 LAN. For details about the maximum number of ARP entries supported by the Switch, see 3.1 Number of table entries.
(2) NDP entries
For IPv6, the hardware address corresponding to the destination address of the packet to be sent is determined by NDP address resolution in the LAN. Thus, the number of NDP entries determines the maximum number of remote devices. For details about the maximum number of NDP entries supported by the Switch, see 3.1 Number of table entries.
(3) Max. number of RA terminals
Using RA, terminals generate addresses based on the IPv6 address information received from the router. The following table describes the maximum number of RA terminals supported by the Switch.
