Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the TCP/IP protocol that resides within the Internet layer. ARP resolves a physical
address from an IP address. ARP queries machines on the local network for their physical addresses. ARP also
maintains IP to physical address pairs in its cache memory. In any IP communication, the ARP cache is consulted to
see if the IP address of the computer or the router is present in the ARP cache. Then the corresponding physical
address is used to send a packet.
The following table describes the ARP Configuration Menu options.
