Huawei H35-210_V2.5 Exam - Topic 6 Question 94 Discussion

Actual exam question for Huawei's H35-210_V2.5 exam

Question #: 94
Topic #: 6

On an Ethernet network, ARP packets are classified into ARP Request and ARP Response. In the initial communication phase, how are ARP Request packets transmitted?

AMulticast

BAnycast

CUnicast

DBroadcast

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

When a device needs to resolve an IP address to a MAC address, it sends an ARP Request as abroadcastframe (destination MAC FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) to all devices on the local network. This ensures the target device (if present) receives the request and replies with its MAC address.

Really? I always thought it was Unicast.

Wait, I thought it was Multicast?

Totally agree, it's definitely Broadcast.

Nope, it's not Multicast, it's Broadcast for sure.

ARP Requests are sent as Broadcast packets!

I thought ARP Requests were unicast, but now I'm second-guessing myself. It feels like they should go to all devices instead.

I practiced a question like this, and I believe the answer is broadcast since ARP is used to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about multicast being used in similar scenarios. Maybe that's an option?

I think ARP Requests are sent as broadcasts because they need to reach all devices on the network to find the correct MAC address.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know ARP is used for address resolution, but I can't recall if the initial request is sent via multicast, anycast, or broadcast. I'll have to review my notes to be sure.

Broadcast seems like the obvious choice here. ARP needs to reach all devices on the network to find the right MAC address, so broadcasting the request makes the most sense to me.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know ARP is used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses, but I can't remember the exact mechanism for how the initial request is sent. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I think the ARP Request packets are transmitted using broadcast, since we need to reach all devices on the network to find the MAC address for a given IP address.
