  2. Address Resolution Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_Resolution_Protocol

    In a team of network cards, it is used to announce a different MAC address within the team that should receive incoming packets. ARP announcements can be used in the Zeroconf protocol to allow automatic assignment of a link-local address to an interface where no other IP address configuration is available. The announcements are used to ensure ...

  3. ipconfig - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipconfig

    For example, you can release and renew an IP address if it happened to be assigned incorrectly by the DHCP server during the automated assignment process. [9] Like most Unix-based operating systems, Mac OS X also uses ifconfig for more direct control over network interfaces, such as configuring static IP addresses. The Ifconfig command in Linux ...

  4. Default gateway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_gateway

    TCP/IP defines the addresses 192.168.4.0 (network ID address) and 192.168.4.255 (broadcast IP address). The office's hosts send packets to addresses within this range directly, by resolving the destination IP address into a MAC address with the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) sequence and then encapsulates the IP packet into a MAC frame ...

  5. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration...

    The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for automatically assigning IP addresses and other communication parameters to devices connected to the network using a client–server architecture.

  6. Gateway address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_address

    The network host IP interface binds the gateway address to the MAC address of the physical gateway by broadcasting IP datagrams and caching the MAC address of the reply from the gateway in an ARP table stored on the host. The gateway address may be added manually. On Windows computers, the gateway address is configured using the TCP/IP Properties.

  7. MAC address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

    Hence, various configuration scripts and utilities permit the randomization of the MAC address at the time of booting or before establishing a network connection. Changing MAC addresses is necessary in network virtualization. In MAC spoofing, this is practiced in exploiting security vulnerabilities of a computer system. Some modern operating ...

  8. Broadcast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address

    Network IP address breakdown for 172.16.0.0 / 12 Binary form Dot-decimal notation In bold below is shown the host part (suffix) of the IP address, with the network address prefix being the non-bold bits to its left. To obtain the broadcast address, the host bits get set to all 1's, while the network address prefix bits remain intact. 1. Network ...

  9. ARP spoofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_spoofing

    When another host's IP address is known, and its MAC address is needed, a broadcast packet is sent out on the local network. This packet is known as an ARP request. The destination machine with the IP in the ARP request then responds with an ARP reply that contains the MAC address for that IP. [2] ARP is a stateless protocol.
