1 | P a g e Is the IP in my network? NO YES Wait! Do I know its MAC address? (Check my ARP table) NO YES Send the packet Receive ARP response (and update ARP table) Send ARP request Send it to my default gateway Assignment 3 Part A: The ARP Process Figure 1: ARP Process 1) What is the purpose of ARP? The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)'s principal goal is to ease communication between devices on the local network by mapping Internet Protocol (IP) numbers to their associated physical addresses. This mapping is necessary because the OSI model's different layers employ different addressing systems, having IP addresses being used at the network layer (Layer 3) and MAC addresses on the data link layer (Layer 2).
2 | P a g e ARP serves the following purposes: Using ARP, devices may determine the MAC address linked to a given IP address. For devices to transmit data frames directly to their intended recipient on the same local network, this is required. Every device maintains a cache of IP-to-MAC addresses, which reduces the need for repeated ARP queries and accelerates communication. By using the proper MAC address, ARP assists in making sure that data frames are sent to the right location on a local network. By doing this, data loss and device misunderstanding are avoided. 2) What MAC address will a computer search for when trying to reach an external network?
3) When does a PC initiate an ARP process? 4) What destination MAC address does an ARP request use? Why? 5) What source MAC address does an ARP request use? 6) What are the headings of the ARP table? Part B: VLANs 1) What does VLANs allow you to do with one switch? 2) Does an end device see the VLAN tag? 3) What’s the difference between TRUNKED port and ACCESS port.
