CHAPTER 24
Chapter 24: Managing ARP Traffic
Network > ARP
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) maps layer 3 (IP addresses) to layer 2 (physical or MAC
addresses) to enable communications between hosts residing on the same subnet. ARP is a
broadcast protocol that can create excessive amounts of network traffic on your network. To
minimize the broadcast traffic, an ARP cache is maintained to store and reuse previously
learned ARP information.
