Umsingathi ngamunye wenethiwekhi, indawo yokusebenza noma iseva inekheli layo le-IP kanye nemaski engaphansi. Lapho umsingathi exhumana neseva, ngokuya ngekheli layo lasesizindeni se-inthanethi kanye nemaski engaphansi, kanye nekheli lasesizindeni se-inthanethi leseva, nquma ukuthi ingabe iseva ikusegimenti yenethiwekhi efanayo naleyo ngokwayo:

1. Uma kunqunywa ukuba segcemeni yenethiwekhi efanayo, izothola ngokuqondile ikheli le-MAC lomunye umuntu nge-Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), bese igcwalisa ikheli le-MAC lenye inhlangano endaweni yekheli le-MAC okuyiwa kuyo ye-Ethernet. unhlokweni, bese uthumela umlayezo ngaphandle. Ukushintshana kwezingqimba ezimbili kuqonda ukuxhumana;

2. Uma kunqunywa ukuba segmenti yenethiwekhi ehlukile, umsingathi uzosebenzisa ngokuzenzakalelayo isango ukuze axhumane. Umsingathi uqala athole ikheli le-MAC lesango elimisiwe nge-ARP, bese egcwalisa ikheli le-MAC lesango (hhayi ikheli le-MAC lomsingathi ophambene, ngoba umsingathi ucabanga ukuthi uzakwethu wokuxhumana akuyena umsingathi wendawo) endaweni okuyiwa kuyo i-MAC. inkambu yekheli yeheda yozimele we-Ethernet , Thumela umlayezo esangweni, futhi ubone ukuxhumana ngomzila wezendlalelo ezintathu.
