Imwe neimwe network host, workstation kana server ine yayo IP kero uye subnet mask.Kana muenzi achitaurirana nesevha, zvinoenderana neyayo IP kero uye subnet mask, pamwe nesevha yeIP kero, tarisa kana sevha iri muchikamu chimwe chete chetiweki sezvachayo:

1. Kana yatsunga kuve muchikamu chimwe chete chenetiweki, ichawana zvakananga kero yeMAC yerimwe bato kuburikidza neKero Resolution Protocol (ARP), yobva yazadza kero yeMAC yerimwe bato munzvimbo yekuenda MAC kero ndima yeEthernet. furemu musoro, uye tumira meseji kunze.Kutsinhana kwematanho maviri kunoona kutaurirana;

2. Kana yakatemwa kuve mune imwe network segment, mugadziri achangoshandisa gedhi rekutaurirana.Iye sahwira anotanga awana kero yeMAC yegedhi rakaiswa kuburikidza neARP, obva azadza kero yeMAC yegedhi (kwete kero yeMAC yemugamuchiri akatarisana, nekuti muridzi anofunga kuti mufambidzani wake wekutaura haasiye muridzi wenzvimbo) munzvimbo yeMAC. kero ndima yeEthernet furemu musoro, Tumira meseji kugedhi, uye ziva kutaurirana kuburikidza nematatu-layer nzira.
