What command is used to view the ARP table?

To view the ARP table, you can use the command arp -a in the command prompt on Windows or arp on Unix/Linux systems. This command displays the IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses that the device has recently communicated with. Additionally, on Linux, you can also use ip neigh to view the ARP table.


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.

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

Forward lookup zones


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


What protocol is use to find the hardware address of local devices?

Arp (address resolution protocol)


What protocol used when two host has same ip address?

When two hosts have the same IP address on a network, it can lead to an IP address conflict, causing connectivity issues for both devices. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is often involved in detecting these conflicts, as it maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. Network administrators typically resolve the conflict by reconfiguring one of the devices to use a unique IP address. Additionally, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can help prevent such conflicts by dynamically assigning unique IP addresses to devices on a network.
