4A0-112 Exam Dumps : Nokia IS-IS Routing Protocol

ARP for IPv4 and Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6 are both used to map a device's IP address to its MAC address. This is essential for communication within a local network.

ARP is used in IPv4 networks, and NDP performs a similar function in IPv6 networks, ensuring devices can communicate effectively on the same network segment.

During the IP forwarding process, routers use the routing table to determine the next hop based on the destination IP address. The source IP address is not directly involved in the lookup process for forwarding.

The ARP table is used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses, specifically for resolving the MAC address of the next hop (destination MAC address) for forwarding packets within the local network.

When a router receives a CSNP (Complete Sequence Number PDU) that references an older LSP (Link-State PDU) than the one in its local database, it indicates that the neighbor is missing newer information.

In response, the router sends back a PSNP (Partial Sequence Number PDU) to the neighbor, which includes a copy of the LSPs it has in its local database that the neighbor may not yet have. This helps to synchronize the link-state information between routers.
