Routing example – page 2
In Lesson 3 of Module 2: VLANs, you learned how devices can use an ARP request
to discover the MAC address associated with an IP address. In this particular
example, however, the workstation cannot use ARP to discover the IP address of the
database server because the database server is in a different VLAN (or subnet). ARP
operates at Layer 2 so only the devices in VLAN 20 receive ARP requests from the
workstation.
