Which protocol matches an Ethernet address to an Internet Protocol (IP) address?
A.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
B.
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP)
C.
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
D.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
Explanation:
“As with ARP, Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) frames go to all
systems on the subnet, but only the RARP server responds. Once the RARP server receives this
request, it looks in its table to see which IP address matches the broadcast hardware address.
The server then sends a message back to the requesting computer that contains its IP address.
The system now has an IP address and can function on the network.” Pg 357 Shon Harris: All-inOne CISSP Certification
