ARP Configuration Menu
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the TCP/IP protocol that resides within the Internet layer. ARP resolves a physical address from an IP address. ARP queries computers on the local network for their physical addresses. ARP also maintains IP-to-physical address pairs in its cache memory. In any IP communication, the ARP cache is consulted to see if the IP address of the computer or the router is present in the ARP cache. The corresponding physical address is used to send a packet.
