Q

What happens when you send a ping to an IP address?

A

The switch sends the ping to every device on the network. The device with the correct IP address responds with their MAC address. Now your computer knows the MAC address and can send data to them directly.

Q

What is an ARP message?

A

Address Resolution Protocol. When you try to ping an IP address on your network system your system had to turn the IP address into a MAC address. It is sent to a special MAC address that causes all machines on a network to receive it.

dynamic host configuration protocol
61
What is the DHCP port number?
67,68
62
What does the DHCP protocol do?
It is a network protocol used on Ip networks. It automatically assigns an IP address and other information to each host on a network so they can communicate efficiently with other endpoints.

Simple network management protocol
64
What is the SNMP port number?
161
65
What does the SNMP protocol do?
It allows devices to communicate even if the devices are on different hardware and run different software.

67
What is the tftp port number?
69
68
What does the TFTP protocol do?
simple protocol for exchanging files between two TCP/IP machines
