Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -ARP is the Address Resolution Protocol, used to translate between Layer 2 MAC addresses and Layer 3 IP addresses. ARP resolves IPs to MAC addresses by asking, “Who has IP address 192.168. 2.140, tell me.” An example of an ARP reply is “192.168. 2.140 is at 00:0c:29:69:19:66.”
Detailed explanation-2: -ARP translates IP addresses and MAC addresses so devices can properly communicate and send data.
Detailed explanation-3: -ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is the protocol that bridges Layer 2 and Layer 3 of the OSI model. In the typical TCP/IP stack, this binds the Ethernet and Internet Protocol layers. This critical function allows for the discovery of a device’s MAC address based on its known IP address.
