ARP Configuration
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the TCP/IP protocol that resides within the Internet
layer. ARP resolves a physical address from an IP address. ARP queries machines on the local
network for their physical addresses. ARP also maintains IP to physical address pairs in its
cache memory. In any IP communication, the ARP cache is consulted to see if the IP address of
the computer or the router is present in the ARP cache. Then the corresponding physical
address is used to send a packet.
