I will start with some general information:

• ARP-Address Resolution Protocol
• ARP resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses at Layer 2
• Frames on a local network are delivered to a MAC address
• So, a MAC address needs to be resolved from an IP address before a packet can be delivered.
• ARP plays an important role in the functioning of local area networks (LAN)
• We can demonstrate the ARP process using a command prompt and Wireshark.
