- Describe the characteristics and functions of the data link frame.
The Frame
Structure of the frame and the fields contained in the header and trailer depend on Layer 3 protocol.
-
-
Layer 2 Addresses
Each data link frame contains the source data link address of the NIC card sending the frame, and the destination data link address of the NIC card receiving the frame.

- Describe the purpose of ARP.
ARP Tables
On a Router
On a Cisco router, the show ip arp command
is used to display the ARP table.
-
On a Windows Host
On a Windows 7 PC, the arp –a command is used to display the ARP table.

ARP Broadcasts
-
requests can flood the local segment if a large number of devices were to be powered up and all start accessing network services at the same time.

ARP Functions
Ethernet devices refer to an ARP table (or the ARP cache) in its memory(RAM) to find the MAC address that is mapped to the IPv4 address.
-
- Differentiate the roles of the MAC address and the IP address.

- Explain how the ARP process in sending packet to a destination network.
At the network when the source wants to find out the MAC address of the destination device it first looks for the MAC address (Physical Address) in the ARP cache or ARP table. If present there then it will use the MAC address from their communication. If you want to view your ARP cache (in Windows Operating System) then open Command Prompt and typr command 'arp-a' (without Quotes)
- The source device will broadcast the ARP request
message to the local network.
- The broadcast message is received by all the other devices in the LAN network.
