Which protocol is responsible for learning an IPv4 neighbor's MAC address?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a fundamental protocol used in IPv4 networking to map an IP address to its corresponding MAC (Media Access Control) address. When an IPv4 device wants to communicate with another device on the same local network, it uses ARP to find out the MAC address associated with the target device's IP address. This ensures that IP packets can be encapsulated into Ethernet frames and delivered to the correct hardware address on the local network segment. ARP does not apply to IPv6, where Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) performs a similar function.

I believe Santos and Winfred are correct. ARP is definitely the right answer.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be D) Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP).

I agree with Santos. ARP is used to retrieve MAC address from IP address.

I remember studying that ARP maps IP addresses to MAC addresses, so I think it's the correct answer

I think NDP is more for IPv6, while ARP is specifically for IPv4

But what about D) Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)? Isn't that also used for similar purpose?

NAT? No way, that's got nothing to do with MAC addresses. This is clearly an ARP or NDP question.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Isn't NAT the one that translates IP addresses? I feel like that might be related to this question somehow.

I always get ARP and NAT confused, but ARP is definitely the one for finding MAC addresses.

Yes, ARP is correct. It's used to map an IPv4 address to a MAC address.

Oh yeah, you're right! I think it's called Neighbor Discovery Protocol, or NDP. That's the IPv6 version of ARP.

ARP? Really? I thought that was just for IPv4. Isn't there a different protocol for IPv6?

Come on, this is easy! It's got to be ARP. That's the one that resolves MAC addresses, right?

Ugh, I hate questions about protocols! It's like they're trying to see how many random acronyms we can memorize.
