Question

1) Server2 has a frame to send to 192.168.1.95, but does not know the associated Ethernet address. Fill in the switch tables below after server2 ARPs for 192.168.1.95, server3 sends an ARP reply, and then server2 sends its data frame to server3. 2) Which servers receive a copy of the ARP request? 3) Which servers receive a copy of the ARP reply? 4) If server 1 were to send a frame to destination Ethernet address 22:22:22:22:22:22, which servers would receive a copy of that frame? Assume that the switch tables haven't changed since the exchange above, but do not actually change the tables again.

Explanation / Answer

2)

It forwards the frame out of all ports except for the port at which the frame was received. It notifies the sending host that the frame cannot be delivered. It forwards the frame out of all ports except for the port at which the frame was received.

If host 192.168.2.5 is inside the local network, our device will broadcast an ARP Request to ask the MAC address of the host 192.168.2.5

If host 192.168.2.5 is outside the local network, our device will broadcast an ARP Request to ask the MAC address of the local port (the port in the same subnet with our device) of the default gateway. Notice that the IP of the default gateway has been already configured in our device.

3)

If host 192.168.2.5 is inside the local network, our device will broadcast an ARP Rely to ask the MAC address of the host 192.168.2.5

If host 192.168.2.5 is outside the local network, our device will broadcast an ARP Reply to ask the MAC address of the local port (the port in the same subnet with our device) of the default gateway. Notice that the IP of the default gateway has been already configured in our device.
