ARP

(Address Resolution Protocol)


The Address Resolution Protocol is a
What is ARP? communication protocol used for
discovering the link layer address, such as
a MAC address, associated with a given
internet layer address, typically an IPv4
address.
ARP Cache: After resolving the MAC address, the ARP
sends it to the source where it is stored in a table for future
reference. The subsequent communications can use the
MAC address from the table

ARP Cache Timeout: It indicates the time for which the


MAC address in the ARP cache can reside
The default value is 21,600 seconds (6 hours)
ARP request: This is nothing but broadcasting a packet
over the network to validate whether we came across
the destination MAC address or not.
1. The physical address of the sender.
2. The IP address of the sender.
3. The physical address of the receiver is
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF or 1’s.
4. The IP address of the receiver
ARP response/reply: It is the MAC address response
that the source receives from the destination which aids
in further communication of the data.
• A table called the ARP cache
maintains a record of each IP
address and its corresponding
MAC address.

RARP
(Reverse Address Resolution
Protocol)
Reverse ARP is a networking protocol used by
a client machine in a local area network to
request its Internet Protocol address (IPv4)
from the gateway-router’s ARP table.
• RARP broadcast packet which contains its own
MAC address in both sender and receiver
hardware address field.

• RARP server attempt to find out the entry in IP


to MAC address mapping table. If any entry
matches in table, RARP server send the
response packet to the requesting device along
with IP address.
Proxy ARP
Proxy ARP was implemented to enable
devices which are separated into network
segments connected by a router in the
same IP network or sub-network to resolve
IP address to MAC addresses.
Gratuitous ARP
• When the computer booted up (Network Interface
Card is powered) for the first time, it automatically
broadcast its MAC address to the entire network

• Gratuitous ARP request is a packet where source


and destination IP are both set to IP of the
machine issuing the packet and the destination
MAC is the broadcast address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP) is an
application layer protocol which is used to provide:

1.Subnet Mask (Option 1 – e.g., 255.255.255.0)


2.Router Address (Option 3 – e.g., 192.168.1.1)
3.DNS Address (Option 6 – e.g., 8.8.8.8)
4.Vendor Class Identifier (Option 43 – e.g., ‘unifi’ = 192.168.1.9
##where unifi = controller)
• DHCP port number for server is 67 and for the client is
68.
• It is a Client server protocol which uses UDP services.
• IP address is assigned from a pool of addresses.
• In DHCP, the client and the server exchange mainly 4
DHCP messages in order to make a connection, also
called DORA process, but there are 8 DHCP messages in
the process.
