Shabakad kasta oo martigeliyaha ah, goobta shaqada ama server-ka waxay leedahay ciwaanka IP-ga u gaar ah iyo maaskaro hoose.Marka martigeliyaha uu la xiriiro server-ka, sida ku xusan ciwaanka IP-ga iyo maaskarada subnet-ka, iyo sidoo kale cinwaanka IP-ga ee server-ka, go'aamin haddii server-ku ku jiro isla qaybta shabakadda sida lafteeda:

1. Haddii la go'aamiyo in ay ku jirto isla qaybta isku-xidhka, waxay si toos ah u heli doontaa ciwaanka MAC ee dhinaca kale iyada oo loo marayo Protocol Xalinta Ciwaanka (ARP), ka dibna ku buuxi ciwaanka MAC ee dhinaca kale ee goobta ciwaanka MAC ee Ethernet. madaxa madaxa, oo dir fariinta.Laba-lakab isweydaarsigu wuxuu garwaaqsadaa isgaadhsiinta;

2. Haddii la go'aamiyo inay ku jirto qayb shabakadeed oo kala duwan, martigeliyaha wuxuu si toos ah u isticmaali doonaa albaabka si uu ula xiriiro.Martigeliyaha wuxuu marka hore helayaa cinwaanka MAC ee albaabka la dhigay iyada oo loo marayo ARP, ka dibna buuxi cinwaanka MAC ee albaabka (ma aha cinwaanka MAC ee martida ka soo horjeeda, sababtoo ah martigeliyaha wuxuu u maleynayaa in lammaanaha isgaarsiintu uusan ahayn martigeliyaha maxalliga ah) gudaha MAC. Goobta ciwaanka ee madaxa firam ee Ethernet , U dir fariinta albaabka, oo garow isgaadhsiinta iyada oo loo marayo marinka saddexda lakab.
