# ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) **Definition:** ARP is a network protocol used to map a known IP address (Layer 3) to an unknown MAC address (Layer 2) within a local network. It allows devices to discover the physical hardware address of another device when they only know its IP address. ## Short Worked Example **Scenario:** Computer A (192.168.1.10) wants to send data to Computer B (192.168.1.20) on the same local network. **Steps:** 1. **Computer A checks its ARP cache** - doesn't find MAC address for 192.168.1.20 2. **Computer A broadcasts an ARP Request:** - "Who has IP 192.168.1.20? Tell 192.168.1.10" - Sent to MAC address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (broadcast) 3. **Computer B recognizes its IP and sends an ARP Reply (unicast):** - "192.168.1.20 is at MAC address AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF" 4. **Computer A stores this in its ARP cache** and can now send frames directly to Computer B's MAC address **Result:** Computer A now knows that IP 192.168.1.20 = MAC AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF and can communicate with Computer B.
