C. If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply. D. If a host is ready to send a packet to a local destination device and it has the IP address but not the MAC address of the destination, it generates an ARP broadcast.

What are two features of ARP? (Choose two.) A. An ARP request is sent to all devices on the Ethernet LAN and contains the IP address of the destination host and its multicast MAC address. B. When a host is encapsulating a packet into a frame, it refers to the MAC address table to determine the mapping of IP addresses to MAC addresses. C. If a device receiving an ARP request has the destination IPv4 address, it responds with an ARP reply. D. If a host is ready to send a packet to a local destination device and it has the IP address but not the MAC address of the destination, it generates an ARP broadcast. E. If no device responds to the ARP request, then the originating node will broadcast the data packet to all devices on the network segment.

A. On large networks with low bandwidth, multiple ARP broadcasts could cause data communication delays. C. Network attackers could manipulate MAC address and IP address mappings in ARP messages with the intent of intercepting network traffic.

What are two potential network problems that can result from ARP operation? (Choose two.) A. On large networks with low bandwidth, multiple ARP broadcasts could cause data communication delays. B. Multiple ARP replies result in the switch MAC address table containing entries that match the MAC addresses of hosts that are connected to the relevant switch port. C. Network attackers could manipulate MAC address and IP address mappings in ARP messages with the intent of intercepting network traffic. D. Manually configuring static ARP associations could facilitate ARP poisoning or MAC address spoofing. E. Large numbers of ARP request broadcasts could cause the host MAC address table to overflow and prevent the host from communicating on the network.
