At which layer of the OSI model does ARP operate?

• Network layer

• Transport layer

• Data link layer

• Application layer

What is the primary purpose of ARP?

• To map a MAC address to an IP address

• To map an IP address to a MAC address

• To route data between networks

• To encrypt data packets

What type of message is sent by a device to inquire about a MAC address on the local network?

• AA:AA:AA:AA:AA:AA

• 11:11:11:11:11:11

When does ARP occur?

• When the MAC address is unknown

• When the device is offline

• When the network is down

• When the IP address is unknown

What happens after a device receives an ARP request?

• It broadcasts the request to other devices

• It sends its MAC address to the source device

• It sends its IP address to the source device

• It ignores the request

Why is ARP important for local network communication?

• It speeds up data transmission

• It connects the IP address and the MAC address

• It reduces network traffic

• It encrypts data for security

Who would benefit from understanding ARP?
