ARP Table Listing
Figure 1. Example “ARP Table Listing” Diagnostic Results
The “ARP Table Listing” diagnostic results (Fig. 1) display the contents of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table. The ARP table is used to distinguish devices in a network, so that each packet is directed to its appropriate destination. The ARP table relates the MAC address of each device in the network with its corresponding IP address.
