Question 3

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) facts

Answer 3

Some network devices, such as switches, will build tables to match MAC addresses with IP addresses in order to always know where to send packets to. When a host wants to send some data, it uses ARP to send a broadcast message out on the network, requesting that the host with a specific IP address respond with its MAC address. When the sending host gets the response, it can then match up the MAC address and IP address.
