3.8 ARP

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is applied to mapping an IP address to physical layer
(MAC) address. When sending an IP frame, the switch firstly inquires MAC address related to
objective IP address from ARP table. If address is found, the switch will write in this MAC
address at the specified position of frame head, and send the frame to the objective. If
corresponding MAC address is not found from ARP table, the switch will broadcast an ARP
request message to all devices of network.
When receiving this request, these devices will discard the request message if the objective IP
address of the message is different from their own IP address. If they are same, these devices
write their own MAC address to the objective address section and return this message to
source device. When receiving a return message, the source device write the objective IP
address and corresponding MAC address in ARP table, and forwards the IP traffic to the
objective device.
