Hello,

Please support providing a solution for the below-mentioned question for understanding the concepts.

6. (a) Running the "ARP" command on a computer yields the following couplet: "140.126.87.23" "00 02 b3 be fd 71 " Briefly state the significance of each of these numbers and explain the role played by each and their overall structure. What are the differences between the elements of the following triplet? 22.126.87.23140.126.87.23204.126.87.23 30% (b) An IP router containing the following subnet mask 255255224119 receives a packet intended for 140.126.87.23. How many subnets are supported by the router and how many devices are supported by each subnet? On which subnet does 140.126.87.23 reside and what is its host id? The number of subnets supported by the router is to be doubled. What is the revised subnet mask? Based upon this new subnet mask, on which subnet does 140.126.87.23 now reside and what is its revised node id? 30% (c) What is the role of ARP and why is it required? 20% (d) What are the inherent disadvantages associated with the 140.126.87.23 representation and what mechanisms have been proposed or implemented to overcome these shortcomings. 20%
