What is the use of reverse ARP?

Reverse ARP is used to Obtain IP address from a Server(responsible for IP addresses allocation) by providing its layer 2 (MAC) address.


How do you get mac address of people that on same network?

First, communicate somehow with the computer. For example, if you know the IP address, do a PING command.Then check the ARP cache. If you use Windows, type arp -a. This will show the translations between recently used IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses.Or just go to each computer and give the ipconfig /allcommand.First, communicate somehow with the computer.

What do dns servers use to help resolve IP addresses to dns names?

Forward lookup zones


Is the size of ARP packet fixed?

In theory, no, not necessarily, since ARP is flexible enough to be used to discover or describe a connection between other kinds of addresses, which don’t have to be the same lengths as IPv4 and Ethernet addresses.


What type of server does a window client use to resolve host names to IP addresses?

Strictly speaking, Windows clients will use a DNS server to resolve host names to IP addresses. In a Windows environment, the DNS server is almost always a Domain Controller as well (Active Directory Integrated DNS). Windows also has another naming system called NETBIOS. Clients will use a WINS server to resolve NETBIOS names (do not confuse with host names) to IP addresses. Short answer: DNS

If a device does not know its own IP address can it still use ARP?

No - in order to use ARP it would have to send a broadcast for information with a return address of itself. Since it doesn't have an IP address it cannot do that. Furthermore, without an IP address it couldn't participate on the network.


How do hosts ensure that their packets are directed to the correct network destination?

Hosts ensure that their packets are directed to the correct network destination through the use of IP addresses and routing tables. When a host wants to send data, it encapsulates the packet with the destination IP address, which identifies the target device on the network. Routers then use their routing tables to determine the best path for the packet to reach its destination, forwarding it across interconnected networks until it arrives at the intended host. Additionally, protocols like ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) are used to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses within local networks, ensuring correct delivery at the data link layer.
