The Address Resolution Protocol (Arp) allows a host to find the media access control address
of a host on the same physical network, given the IP address of the host. To make ARP efficient,
each computer caches IPÂÂÂtoÂÂÂmedia access control address mappings to
eliminate repetitive Arp broadcast requests.
You can use the arp -a command to view the Arp table entries on a specified host. The arp
command is useful for viewing the Arp cache and resolving address resolution problems.
