This document provides an overview of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). It defines ARP as a network layer protocol that maps IP addresses to MAC addresses, allowing communication within a local area network. Key points include:
- ARP resolves logical IP addresses to physical MAC addresses to allow communication on the data link layer.
- IP and MAC addresses are respectively logical and physical identifiers for devices on a network.
- The ARP packet format and work procedure of ARP caching are described.
- ARP requests are broadcast to find MAC addresses, and ARP responses provide the discovered addresses.
- A drawback of ARP is that it is vulnerable to spoofing and denial of service attacks.
This document provides an overview of Ethernet and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) concepts. It describes the operation of the Ethernet sublayers including the logical link control (LLC) and media access control (MAC) sublayers. It explains how ARP works to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses through ARP requests and maintaining an ARP table. It also discusses how ARP entries can be removed from the ARP table over time or manually.
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses to allow communication between hosts on a local area network (LAN). ARP maintains a cache that maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. Static and dynamic entries are stored in the ARP cache, with dynamic entries expiring after a timeout period. Proxy ARP and other protocols like Reverse ARP and Serial Line ARP provide additional ARP functionality in certain network configurations.
ARP spoofing allows an attacker to intercept or modify communications between two hosts on a local network by falsifying ARP responses and changing a target's ARP cache entries. The attacker sends spoofed ARP replies associating the target's IP addresses with the attacker's MAC address, intercepting traffic intended for another host. This enables man-in-the-middle attacks where the attacker can sniff or modify intercepted traffic before forwarding it. Defenses include static ARP entries and port security on switches, but weaknesses remain, especially on networks using dynamic addressing protocols like DHCP.
The document provides an overview of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). It discusses:
- ARP allows mapping between a host's logical IP address to its physical MAC address on a local area network.
- Each device maintains an ARP cache table to map IP-MAC address pairs for other devices on the network. An ARP request is broadcast to resolve addresses and the responding device unicasts an ARP reply.
- ARP spoofing vulnerabilities exist since ARP does not authenticate requests/replies, allowing an attacker to poison a device's ARP cache with false address mappings and intercept network traffic.
ARP is a protocol used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses. It works by broadcasting a request onto the network to discover the MAC address associated with a given IP address. The requesting device then stores the returned MAC address in its ARP cache for future use. ARP cache entries have a timeout period after which the mapping will be deleted. Reverse ARP and proxy ARP are variants that allow devices to discover their own IP address or resolve addresses across network segments. Gratuitous ARP broadcasts a device's MAC address upon startup. DHCP dynamically assigns IP configuration including the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS to devices on a network.
The document discusses address resolution protocol (ARP) which maps logical IP addresses to physical MAC addresses on a local area network. It explains that ARP broadcasts a request to find the MAC address associated with a given IP address, and the device with that IP address responds with its MAC. This dynamic address mapping is stored in an ARP cache for future use. It also describes how different network protocols may use ARP or similar methods to perform address mapping between logical and physical addresses.
Packet sniffing involves monitoring network traffic by capturing and analyzing data packets as they flow through a network interface. It can be performed using packet sniffers, which are programs that can intercept and read all network traffic passing through a device's network interface card or wireless adapter. While packet sniffers can be used for troubleshooting network issues, they can also be used maliciously by hackers to intercept sensitive information like usernames and passwords by using techniques like ARP spoofing to fool devices into thinking the hacker's machine has the IP address of another machine on the network. Network administrators can use tools to detect the presence of packet sniffers operating in promiscuous mode and monitor ARP caches for signs of spoofing.
The document discusses Ethernet networking concepts including Ethernet protocol, LAN switches, and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). It covers how Ethernet frames are encapsulated and the fields they contain. It describes how switches build and use MAC address tables to forward frames using Layer 2 addressing. It also explains the purpose of ARP and how it maps IP addresses to MAC addresses to allow communication on a network.

The document provides an overview of network layer concepts including internetworking, IP addressing, routing protocols, and routing algorithms. Some key points include:
- Internetworking allows different networks to connect through protocols like virtual circuits and tunneling.
- IP addresses identify systems on a network and consist of a network portion and host portion. Private IP addresses are used internally.
- Routing protocols like RIP, OSPF, and BGP allow routers to share route information and determine the best path between networks.
- Subnetting divides network classes into smaller subnets to better manage IP addresses and network design.
MAC addresses are 48- or 64-bit identifiers linked to the hardware of network adapters. They are expressed as hexadecimal strings like 01-23-45-67-89-AB. There are two types: universally administered addresses, which are assigned at manufacture with the first three octets identifying the manufacturer, and locally administered addresses, which can be manually changed but must be unique on the local subnet. MAC addresses can be useful for security and troubleshooting network issues.

- The differences between routing and switching, with routing using network layer information and switching using data link layer addresses.
The document discusses the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) which relates IP addresses to hardware addresses to allow communication within a local area network (LAN). ARP works by broadcasting a query to find the MAC address associated with a given IP address, and the corresponding host responds with its MAC address. Devices store IP-MAC bindings learned from ARP in a local cache to avoid broadcasting for each packet. The router can also respond to ARP requests on behalf of hosts on different subnets using proxy ARP.
A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for use as a network address. MAC addresses are six groups of two hexadecimal digits separated by hyphens or colons. They are assigned by hardware manufacturers and stored in the network interface. MAC addresses operate at the data link layer and are used for communication within a network segment. The least significant bit of the first octet of a MAC address indicates whether the address is a unicast address, meant for one device, or a multicast address. Common network technologies that use MAC addresses include Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

For each protocol, it provides high-level descriptions of their functions and operations in 2 sentences or less.
This document provides a summary of key concepts about switches and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) at the link layer of computer networks:
- Switches operate at the link layer, selectively forwarding frames to the correct outgoing link based on the frame's MAC address. Switches learn MAC addresses and their associated ports through a self-learning process.
- ARP is used to dynamically map IP addresses to MAC addresses when two hosts are on the same local area network (LAN). When a host wants to send to an IP address, it first broadcasts an ARP request. The host with that IP responds with its MAC address.
- For hosts on different LANs, the sending host uses ARP to get the MAC address

2. Introduction to MAC Addressing
• MAC Address stands for Media Access Control
Address
• A unique
identifier
assigned to network interfaces for
communication within a network
• Consists of 48 bits, typically represented in hexadecimal
format (e.g., 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E)
3. Structure of a MAC Address
MAC addresses are divided into two parts:
• OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) First 24 bits
assigned by IEEE to a manufacturer
• NIC Specific (Device Identifier) Last 24 bits unique to the
device
4. Types of MAC Addresses
• Unicast MAC Address: Directs data to a specific device
• Multicast MAC Address: Directs data to multiple devices in a
group
• Broadcast MAC Address: Sends data to all devices in the network
(FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF)
5. What is ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)?
• ARP is used to map an IP address to a MAC address
• - You know their name (IP address), but you don't know their exact house
address (MAC address).- ARP comes into play and says, "Hey, I know the
name, let me find the house address for you."
• Essential for communication within LANs
• Works within Layer 2 (Data Link) and Layer 3 (Network) of the OSI model
6. How ARP Works?
• Device sends an ARP Request ("Who has this IP?")
• The device with the matching IP responds with an ARP
Reply ("I have this IP, here is my MAC")
• The sender updates its ARP table and starts
communication
7. ARP Spoofing (Security Concern)
• A technique where an attacker sends fake ARP replies to
mislead a device
• Can be used to intercept, modify, or stop network traffic
• Prevention methods: Static ARP entries, ARP Inspection,
Network Segmentation
8. Packet Forwarding Basics
• Packet forwarding is how data moves from one network to another
• Uses MAC addresses for communication inside a network (Layer 2)
• Uses IP addresses for communication between networks (Layer 3)
9. Practical Example – Viewing ARP Table
• On Windows: Open Command Prompt and type: arp –a
• On Linux/Mac: Open Terminal and type: arp -n
• Shows IP-to-MAC mappings in your local network
10. Packet Tracer Lab - ARP and Packet
Forwarding
• Setup a simple LAN with PCs and a switch
• Use Packet Tracer to send pings and analyze ARP
requests/replies
• Capture packets to observe MAC and IP address changes
11. Summary
• MAC addresses are unique hardware identifiers
• ARP resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses
• Packet forwarding ensures data reaches the correct destination
• ARP spoofing is a security risk; preventive measures are
necessary
