I spent 9 hours, listening, understanding, taking notes, from my professor's 3 hour lecture. And was still confused. yet your 4 minute video gave me a clearer understanding. what an obvious failure the education system has reached
I've been a network engineer for over 25 years. It's funny seeing a video on ARP, which we use quite a bit in troubleshooting Layer 2/Layer 3 problems. When I first started, ARP issues were common due to ARP caches not refreshing frequently enough. Every now and then, I'll run into an issue where an IP address change causes a device on the network to stop communicating with the device that changed IPs because it's old and it's ARP cache won't update in a timely manner.
And this ARP cache. is probably why i have to reboot system everytime i change subnet address of router, and it's IP, probably only thing Windows "Repair network" tool is doing
@@KabelkowyJoe Changing the subnet on the router means your Windows PC has to either refresh DHCP (likely) or change the IP of your PC if you set a static IP address (unlikely unless you purposely did it). Windows only refreshes DHCP every 24 hours by default. You could force a refresh or just reboot. Honestly, reboot is just as easy.
Very well explained. I am a new electrical engineer setting up the 10Gb ethernet interface on an FPGA and this really helped understand ARP and Ping packets.
You do a great job with your videos! Its helping me to get my CompTIA A+. I am non native English speaker therefore your animated explanations makes massive difference to me
You are the best IT expert/teacher because you thoroughly explain the topic with great animation, which enhances learning at a fast pace. With this in mind, I quickly grasp the information after watching your awesome videos. On the other hand, I am in the process of studying for my CompTIA Security+ exam. Please create a CompTIA Security+ exam review video based on version SYO-501.
This is what instructional videos are all about. I volunteer in the computer center at a local library where most students know nothing more about computers other than how to turn one on. When they are done watching all the PowerCert videos, I'm scared they're going to take over my "job!"
@@noodler911 if you're talking about the diagram with the box in the middle and 4 computers, that's not a router that's a switch. Switches don't deal with IP addresses
One bit of trivia, ARP is actually not part of IP and predates it. However, it was available and did the job. Also, it is not used with IPv6, where Neighbor Solicitation is used. Neighbor Solicitation is part of the IPv6 suite and uses ICMP6.
this guy has got wide range of videos in networking and great quality of content if you have came here to watch his videos then you are in the right place !!
2:00 Does it still broadcast to all other devices if the switch has the other PC's MAC address in its table already? 3:30 When I try this in packet tracer I just get an "invalid command" message?
you have one of the best information videos I have ever seen. clear, short and informative. thank you very much! I have learned so much from all of your videos. please keep doing what you're doing.
Thanks a million for the videos!! it's great and so easy to understand and memorize! other ressources can be so dull and without any pedagogy! keep up the good work :)
ARP protocol An ARP protocol, aka address resolution protocol, is used to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses. There are basically two types of ARP entries. The first is called dynamic, which is created whenever a computer wants to know whose IP/MAC address it is. So let's say computer A has an IP address but it doesn't know whose address it is, therefore they ask on the network. As soon as the interested computer, so the one that matches that IP address, is found and responds, Computer A will immediately match the IP address to the MAC address. The other type is called static. As we can tell from the name, a static ARP entry is a permanent entry. Why should we use something permanent? We use this whenever we know that two computers will constantly be communicating. If you use the CMD, you'll see there's an ARP cache. In this cache you'll find what devices yours has been communicating with. If there's none, you can still make a new one by writing ARP -r (IP address) (MAC address).
Great video! I love the animations. If you ever need a future upload idea, would it be possible to update this ARP video and explain/animate the ARP broadcast process for recipient device's outside the sender's LAN? I'm still learning about this, but apparently before sending out the ARP broadcast, the sender will not only look at its ARP cache (to see if the recipient's MAC address is already there), but it will compare its network ID (subnet mask?) to the recipient's network ID to determine if the recipient is local or remote (i.e. outside the sender's LAN). If the recipient is remote, instead of sending an ARP broadcast to learn the recipient's MAC address, the sender will send an ARP broadcast to learn its default gateway's MAC address so that it can send packets that contains the destination MAC address of the default gateway AND the IP address of the remote recipient. It's interesting that it has to work out this way because broadcasts (including ARP) don't pass through routers.
Hey! buddy!.. my congrats!!... you're doing a very excellent job through this series of videos... Not only super clear for a non-English-native speaker but also ideally clear enough for beginners!... We just need guys like you in this complex world of networking!!...Keep up on this!!
This Channel has helped me so much... Thank u so much! i learn in an instant what i didnt learn hours in class... after your videos every written word on my notes start to make sence!
Why do we need the mac address of certain computer ? if the computer's address is its last digit of the IP and the way it can be recignized in a network
As always, you are the best in explaining and make clear!! My question is: While the devices are connected in the same local network, then why a device would need MAC address for talking to each other? They may just use IPs.
What happens if a dynamic IP address exists on the ARP cache, but the MAC address disconnects and reconnects to the network later after its lease expires and gets a new IP address. How does the ARP cache get corrected?
Most likely through DNS or if you manually entered computer B's address into computer A's. To clarify, say you are using computer A and want to access computer B's network share. In Windows, you would type in \\COMPUTERB\FileShare Computer A would send a DNS query to your DNS server to find out computer B's IP address.
What exactly is the difference between the IP address and the MAC address? Never found a single video which explained it properly. It's very confusing. Could you please make a video on that?
from eli5 reddit: A MAC address is a number which in theory is unique to every piece of physical hardware and never changes for that device. An IP address is a number which identifies a specific network location and is free to change as network conditions change. For an analogy think about an IP address as your home address, and a MAC address as your social security number. idk why these ppl speak in a language we can't understand. it's so easy to explain it in simple terms 🙃
I’m currently an Engineering student, & if I get a job. I’ll surely donate to this channel for making me understand cleanly.
Have you donated bro😊
@@Gowtham-y1d😂😂😂
So where are you rn?
wheres the donation at? we’re waiting and watching
Still waiting for ur donation towards the channel bro
"IP address is used to LOCATE a device on the network and the MAC address is what IDENTIFIES the actual device" 👊👊
This part really made me got the point without a struggle
i was looking for that one all day , so happy i found this video .. life saving .
That single sentence explained more than a whole paragraph from some books.
for me, a computer rookie and non-english native speaker, this is an amazing explanation video for ARP
I can't imagine of a better way of teaching. Thank you so much professor.
Thank you
Yes, so true

doing network stuff in subject called ipt. This helps so much

But if ip addresses are unique within a local network, why do we need mac addresses to identify the device?
@@abhinavtyagi1657 MAC address is layer 2 (specifically ethernet), IP address is layer 3. MAC address is a unique identifier for Layer 2 Ethernet.

thanks for taking the time to create these graphics. It's amazing and really helps to bridge the gaps with the textbooks.
Best explanations. Opened one video and watched 7.
you are seriously a freaking savior
Wow, why am only discovering this channel now. Your arp tutorial was mindblowing
Thanks!
Thanks eric!
best explaination i have seen so far, nice video !
Best channel for visual learners

Did you activated the switch in packet tracer?

Glad to hear that...Thanks :)

thanks a lot~ The second best channel in my channel list, lol... Easy to understand, keep it up😘
Who is the first one ?
1:37 How does Computer A send out a broadcast message? I'm confused
You can try with a ping command
this is University-Distance Much Respects to you sir love you 4ever
very useful video
wonderful explanation👍
stay bless
what happens if a device's IP changes and another device uses that IP? the cached mac address will be incorrect. how is this solved?
Why do we need the mac address of certain computer ? if the computer's address is its last digit of the IP and the way it can be recignized in a network
A good video with a clear information 👌🏻
I hope you can answer me pleaaaase. But, how does the computer already know the ip address from another computer with this protocol?
As always, you are the best in explaining and make clear!!
My question is: While the devices are connected in the same local network, then why a device would need MAC address for talking to each other? They may just use IPs.
I got the answer, devices find each other using IP address but to communicate they need MAC address.
You saved me today 😌
Perfectly explained. So simple that a 5 year old could understand it!
So ARP also keeps a cache of MAC Addresses associated with a device. ARP associates the MAC address with the IP address
What happens if a dynamic IP address exists on the ARP cache, but the MAC address disconnects and reconnects to the network later after its lease expires and gets a new IP address. How does the ARP cache get corrected?
Great teaching...
No words to say hatsoff u sir....
Your work is flawless
Love your lecture clip, now I understand ARP cache. Thanks.
1) How long ARP entries reside in the ARP cache?
2) after getting ARP request to the corresponding reciever, how does it get MAC address ?
Thanks for the wonderful explaination
Excellent video. Just read about this in my text book, but needed a stronger explanation to get through my thick skull. This did the job. Thank you!
How computer A already knows compputer B's IP address ? Please explain... 00:42
