Question 21

Host A wishes to send data to host C, and generates an ARP request to obtain the destination MAC address.

Which statement is true?

    Correct Answer: C

    When Host A sends an ARP request, it is seeking to determine the MAC address associated with an IP address. This request is typically sent as a broadcast to the local network because Host A does not know where Host C is. Therefore, the correct statement is that the destination IP address for the ARP request is a broadcast IP address. This broadcast request allows all devices on the local network segment, including the router, to hear the request and respond if they recognize the requested IP address as their own.

Discussion
BuddhainkovyOption: C

Correct answer is C, because Host A and Host C live in different subnets. In ARP we put IP of next-hop, as destination address. Answer A doesn't correct. The destination IP address of the ARP request is Host C"

molochtrooper

The Destination is always the endpoint, the edge device or the exact asked interface in the request. B is false because the destination mac is a the unknown field and contains ff-ff-ff. A is correct.

JasonTan13Option: A

The answer is A because the destination IP address is always the endpoint. However, Host C will never receive the ARP request because the router will not pass ARP traffic on to another subnet. A is the right answer, just that Host A cannot send the ARP packet to host C and it is impossible for Host A to know the MAC address of Host C that are on different subnet. In order to ping host C, host A has to send the ping packets to the next hop(router) and then router reencapsulate them and send to host C.

mamarya5Option: A

A is the correct answer because when HOST A send ARP request (broadcast), only the destination IP address is known.Then after the router reply ARP PROXY with her MAC address

skwaruOption: A

One correction i think Answer A is correct only when we use ARP PROXY on RTA

IMO there is no correct answers. Host C is in the different network. Host A should sent packet to the default gateway (should be RTA GIG0/0/0 address) arp DIP=default gateway address arp DMAC:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF below arp request when ping from host A 10.10.10.2 to host C 20.20.20.2 = default gateway on host A is 10.10.10.1 Frame 15: 60 bytes on wire (480 bits), 60 bytes captured (480 bits) on interface 0 Ethernet II, Src: HuaweiTe_be:15:58 (54:89:98:be:15:58), Dst: Broadcast (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) Address Resolution Protocol (request) Hardware type: Ethernet (1) Protocol type: IPv4 (0x0800) Hardware size: 6 Protocol size: 4 Opcode: request (1) Sender MAC address: HuaweiTe_be:15:58 (54:89:98:be:15:58) Sender IP address: 10.10.10.2 Target MAC address: Broadcast (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) Target IP address: 10.10.10.1 when you not configure default gateway on host a - there will be error "Destination host unreachable" and no packet will be send

JimNsu152Option: A

A is right because when you ping C from A that's means you know the ip but Mac address is unknown .So from A it will sent a ffff.ffff.ffff.ffff request for the mac address.When A find the Mac address it will establish a communication .

MonarengOption: D

The answer should be D when considering that an ARP Request was sent.

I SEND A VIDEO: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1G7HutxK6O3cqh3W4w86jg9Rl25E7vz3r?usp=sharing Really there isn't an answer If generates an ARP request, there are only 2 possibilities: -The destination mac address is a broadcast mac address -The destination ip address is the gateway ip address (IP address on G0/0/0) The destination mac address is the gateway mac address (MAC address on G0/0/0) only If doesn't generate an ARP request I would choose the D, but IS NOT THE ANSWER

elopez2207Option: A

THERE'S NO ANSWER Perhaps the answer from Huawei is option "A", but that is not the right answer 1) ARP request: PC sends a frame with destination MAC = FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF & destination IP = ROUTER ip source MAC = PC mac & source IP = PC ip 2) ARP reply: Router sends a frame with destination mac = PC mac & destination IP: PC ip source mac = ROUTER mac & source IP: ROUTER ip I tested in ENSP (There's no answer) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1shPrS1F1RTzGskINkHnswuW_Os-K3Pdk/view?usp=sharing

elopez2207

THERE'S NO ANSWER.The right answer should be one of these: * The destination IP address of the ARP request is the IP address of G0/0/0 on RTA * The destination MAC address of this frame is a broadcast MAC address

nishanOption: D

answer shoud be : d

afdabdallaOption: D

correct is D , you can use Wireshark to check this

Nicodemos507Option: D

The Correct Answer is D: Proxy ARP
