The S7900E Series Ethernet Switches are distributed devices supporting Intelligent Resilient 

Framework (IRF). Two S7900E series can be connected together to form a distributed IRF device. If an 

S7900E series is not in any IRF, it operates as a distributed device; if the S7900E series is in an IRF, it 

operates as a distributed IRF device. For introduction of IRF, refer to IRF Configuration in the System 

Volume. 

 

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used to resolve an IP address into a physical address  

(Ethernet MAC address, for example). 

In an Ethernet LAN, when a device sends data to another device, it uses ARP to translate the IP 

address of that device to the corresponding MAC address. 

ARP messages are classified into ARP requests and ARP replies. 

 shows the format of the 

ARP request/reply.
