The ARP Tables screen appears, as shown in Figure 5-25
. You use
this screen for viewing the ARP table.
The ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) defines a standard for
mapping 32-bit IP addresses to 48-bit physical (MAC) Ethernet
addresses and communicating this mapping to the network node
that requested the information.
Each node that implements ARP maintains a table of recently
resolved IP addresses and their corresponding Ethernet addresses.
When one node prepares to send an IP packet to another, it
checks the ARP table for the physical address of the node's IP
address. If it is not present, the sending node uses ARP to resolve
the address and enters it in the ARP table.
