Address resolution protocol (ARP) is used by computers to discover each other's Layer 2 ethernet address. CBT Nuggets trainer Keith Barker provides an overview of how ARP works.

Your teaching style and enthusiasm are awesome. Thank you very much!
Love your videos, they are amazing!
Ok this is if its in the same layer, but what if two devices in a different network wants to communicate, how will ARP work between networks? I understand u need routing in that situation, and it goes to layer 3. But does ARP travel to layer 3 or only in layer 2. Anyone can help answer this for me? thanks.
Thank you
Yo my pc just started saying REQUEST TIMED OUT and all my games or streams I watch/play would freeze for like 1 or 2sec does anyone know how to fix this
Been following you for yrs. Having such advanced credentials with switches,etc, your nuggets are very successful for dummies like me. Thank you - Joe
I have been thinking the same thing!
awesome videos! I ended up on this series after googling what's a port number and I've learnt so much! This one finally answers the question I had since episode 3 😄
How do bobs computer know the destination ip address in the first place ?
It can be setup manually or through some other protocol like DNS.
When you enter the web address in your browser the pc will send a dns request to find the ip from a dns server. A pc will have a dns server ip in its settings set either manually or dynamically by a dhcp server. It knows what the dhcp server ip is by sending a dhcp offer request out to the local lan and the dhcp ip is usually set on the router (known as a helper) or there is a server on the local lan actively listening for dhcp requests and it will respond to bobs pc with its ip. Look up dhcp dora process
well sir i have a question if the ip is a layer 3 technology who layer 2 devices are using this technology?
They are useing physical addresses like a MAC address. Hope that helps!
I don't understand 4:27 -- if it is sent as a broadcast, why it would be everyone on the local network. Would it not be everyone on any network? Also isn't all F's like one specific IP address? Wouldn't all 0's mean any possible IP?
Hi! Thank you for your question.
If ARP was initiated, the computer is needing more information on a destination. The computer may not have the information needed to immediately forward the data. The ARP will use the broadcast to see who will respond if at all to the message. If there are no responses from the broadcast message, the computer will then forward the data to the default gateway. You wouldn't want the broadcast to go beyond the subnet boundary to prevent a flooding of traffic.
If you have thousands of devices doing that it's possible to cause congestion. There are a handful of mac addresses that are reserved for special use, so if a device has not received an IP address it can still do some communication. F:F:F:F:F:F is reserved for the broadcast messages. 0.0.0.0 address is certainly used for something that is not routable, but this is at the layer 3 of the OSI model, whereas, F:F:F:F:F:F is Layer 2 and is a broadcast. You'd see the 0.0.0.0 for the default route, and it will push it to the default gateway.
Hope that helps!
@@cbtnuggets thank you!
Okay, but what if IP address is on the other network? It doesn't broadcast then? It checks (who checks - computer or switch?) if it matches subnet mask, if it's not it sends straight to gateway? I can't find a proper video explaining all these things working together: computers, arp tables, mac tables, routing tables, default gateways, routers, switches. It seems i know the "theory" but can't understand how it ACTUALLY works all in conjunction.
Switches also have their own MAC address, when they do come into play, do computers send packets to Switch MAC address?
Clearly, I would like to know how all the layers work, but I'm too lazy. Two other routing topics of interest (for dummies) that I would love are (1) how is data routed to different applications (such as browser windows) running on a single machine? and (2) how are message packets thru a router and the WAN (internet) routed?
When I execute the arp -a command it does not list all of the devices that are connected to my network? Also these devices are not listed in my routers connected device list? I would like to log onto some wireless bridges to configure them, but I can't determine their IP addresses.
ma goodness wot a greater vídeo mate!
thanks for your incredible explaining
How did you obtain the specific wireshark files. ?
If internet server is in different network say B and Bob is in A network then :
We know routers never broadcast so how ARP is going to travel there to get destination host MAC
ARP just needs the Router's MAC. The router takes care of the routing decision (how to get to an outside network).
I meant what and how router B gonna do after receiving the ping packet from A router. How s router B will execute the packet to send it to switch and then to host 2. I was talking about the second B network.
Great video and very well explained!
I have just one question tho... how does the source computer get the IP address of the destination computer, as it needs that to get the MAC address?
Would you have to pre-configure that into the source computer?
It does it through using the DNS request.. (domain name service) sent to DNS servers which basically resolve a domain name(eg google.com) to its ip address
Absolutely loved this video. Many thanks.
Well explained! Thanks a lot🙏🍀
Question: would not the ARP request broadcast be an exhuastion? It is fine if the broadcast is only sent in a local network. But what if the destination is somewhere over the internet? There will be hundred of thousand machines out there.
ARP broadcasts are only sent within the same network. It does not go past beyond network boundaries.
Amazing explanation, I really like your way of teaching, keep up the great work. Thank you
Then how the heck DNS service is used? The client doesnt even know the IP Add of the server, how to broadcast the request to LAN ? Can someone please explain to me
In the case of DHCP, the DNS Server address is provided in the DHCP Request. You normally provide a DNS IP for static connections. Happy Networking!
goodness, well explained!
THANK YOU DEAR
Another well explained, to the point video. Thanks
How does one know the IP destination though?
Is ARP a layer 3 protocol???
Super helpful! I like the fact you showed Wireshark to really prove that you sent and received the ARP.
What a great explanation.
These videos are very informative and easy to understand, thank you.
Yall are amazing! Super interesting and informative. Thank you for these great videos.
Thanks for watching!
Keith Barker has been so helpful to me. Thank you!
Great explaining and love the enthusiasm in your words!
So first we have to find the ARP of the sender? (The one requested) Or find the ARP of the receiver (server)?
No.
What I s that Protocol Analyzer software being used and is it free? If not free what is a good one to use?
i think its wire shark
Well explained!
Thanks sir.
Thanks
@CBT Nuggets please share the data packet File wich is used at the last part of video which ARP request and send packet
Great work thanks
Thank you! Very followable video with good visuals ❤
Thank you sir. You are an amazing teacher!
i love this!!!!!
