Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

hello and this is sunny welcome back today my topic is address resolution protocol or up what's up and why do we need up up is a protocol for mapping and IP address to a physical MAC address on a local area network basically ARP is a program used by a computer to find another computers marriages based on is IP edges well you may say I get it but why do we need marriages the reason is a simple any local communications would use MAC address non IP address when a computer wants to communicate with another computer on a different network IP address would be used IP address is like your mailing address while MAC address is like your name when I talk to a student Baba in my classroom I do not use his mailing address instead I simply use his name Baba to communicate on a tcp/ip network every computer is assigned IP address and in some local servers IP addresses are also given to a network a client this is a snapshot of my windows command prompt when I type he ipconfig /all you can see some local servers I P addresses are giving to my computer like my default gateway and is IP address my DHCP server and his IP address two local tea as servers and their IP addresses but these MAC addresses are not displayed if my computer's wants to talk to them I would need their MAC addresses then up is used you may ask how often your computer used up chances are every time you use your computer let me use an example to demonstrate how app works here is the scenario on a local area network a client computer tries to contact a server here we are talking about communications between two computers on a same broadcast a dummy means a local area network first the client that checks is our Prakash a table of IP addresses with this cross pawning MAC addresses to view a Windows computers ARP table enter the command line up - a and you can see your computer's ARP table similar to mine the first column is IP address the second column is corresponding marriages our entry is either static or dynamic static our engine is manually added to the appcache table dynamic entrants are what our program gets they stay there until the up cache timeout has expired suppose no entry is a fund for the server the client computer we are used up this is a broadcast message to the local network that says who has the IP address so on a so and what's your Mecca Jess when the service here's the broadcast and in a response yes I have that IP address and here is my marriages now let's see the whole process step by step step one the client sends a broadcast a message because the destination MAC address is a broadcast address basically is it twelve F's simply saying hello anyone with IP address 192 dot 168 del 1.50 if you hear me would you please give your packages and here's my IP address and marriages we are the devices here the broadcast a message they would discard the ARP packet silently step two when the server hear the message it ascends a unique custom message not a broadcast to the client because the destination IP address and marriages belong to the client step three the client gets the server's marriages and EDA then sends the server a request at the same time the client updates up cache table for the future reference in summary one up is a layer 2 protocol that uses a layer 3 IP address to find layer 2 MAC address - up operates only on a local area network all the same broadcast a dummy because ARP relies on broadcasting 3 up uses an updates ARP table before I conclude this video I want to point out some people say ARP is a layer 3 protocol because up involves layer 3 IP address some people say since up uses a layer 3 IP to get layer 2 marriages then it should belong to 2.5 layer of the OSI model what do you think please feel free to leave your questions below I will reply to you as soon as possible thank you very much and see you next time [Music]
