CHAPTER 25 ARP Table 25.1 Overview Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC address, on the local area network. An IP (version 4) address is 32 bits long. In an Ethernet LAN, MAC addresses are 48 bits long. The ARP Table maintains an association between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address. 25.1.1 How ARP Works When an incoming packet destined for a host device on a local area network arrives at the device, the device's ARP program looks in the ARP Table and, if it finds the address, sends it to the device. If no entry is found for the IP address, ARP broadcasts the request to all the devices on the LAN. The device fills in its own MAC and IP address in the sender address fields, and puts the known IP address of the target in the target IP address field. In addition, the device puts all ones in the target MAC field (FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF is the Ethernet broadcast address). The replying device (which is either the IP address of the device being sought or the router that knows the way) replaces the broadcast address with the target's MAC address, swaps the sender and target pairs, and unicasts the answer directly back to the requesting machine. ARP updates the ARP Table for future reference and then sends the packet to the MAC address that replied. VMG1312-B Series User's Guide 239

ARP Table

25.1

Overview

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address (IP

address) to a physical machine address, also known as a Media Access Control or MAC address, on

the local area network.

An IP (version 4) address is 32 bits long. In an Ethernet LAN, MAC addresses are 48 bits long. The

ARP Table maintains an association between each MAC address and its corresponding IP address.

25.1.1

How ARP Works

When an incoming packet destined for a host device on a local area network arrives at the device,

the device's ARP program looks in the ARP Table and, if it finds the address, sends it to the device.

If no entry is found for the IP address, ARP broadcasts the request to all the devices on the LAN.

The device fills in its own MAC and IP address in the sender address fields, and puts the known IP

address of the target in the target IP address field. In addition, the device puts all ones in the target

MAC field (FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF is the Ethernet broadcast address). The replying device (which is either

the IP address of the device being sought or the router that knows the way) replaces the broadcast

address with the target's MAC address, swaps the sender and target pairs, and unicasts the answer

directly back to the requesting machine. ARP updates the ARP Table for future reference and then

sends the packet to the MAC address that replied.
