At the network layer, the protocol commonly used to obtain an IP address is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). DHCP allows devices to request and receive an IP address and other network configuration parameters automatically from a DHCP server. This process involves a series of messages exchanged between the client and server, including DHCP Discover, Offer, Request, and Acknowledgment. By using DHCP, devices can join a network with minimal manual configuration.

What does ARPA stand for?

ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol, a network layer protocol used to convert an IP address into a physical address, such as an Ethernet address. A host wishing to obtain a physical address broadcasts an ARP request onto the TCP/IP network. The host on the network that has the IP address in the request then replies with its physical hardware address.

Which protocol can be used by Router1 to determine the IP address of Router2 when they are directly connected and only layer 2 connectivity exist between them?

Answer = ARPMeaning of ARP - "Address Resolution Protocol", is used to map IP Network addresses to the hardware (Media Access Control sub layer) addresses used by the data link protocol. The ARP protocol operates between the network layer and the data link layer in the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model.
