Happy New Year!
Here is today’s question:
I ran arp -a on a Windows machine and received this:
192.168.0.1 00-17-c5-4a-02-e6 dynamic
192.168.0.47 00-18-8b-4d-12-e1 dynamic
192.168.0.49 00-26-b9-38-2b-b0 dynamic
192.168.0.52 00-01-74-d1-6b-07 dynamic
192.168.0.53 00-06-72-c9-d7-e1 dynamic
192.168.0.111 00-AA-71-f8-b6-87 dynamic
192.168.0.161 00-21-91-57-1f-41 dynamic
192.168.0.200 00-03-ff-29-9a-19 dynamic
192.168.0.201 00-03-fa-28-97-08 dynamic
Five minutes later, I ran the command and received this:
192.168.0.1 00-18-8b-4d-12-e1 dynamic
192.168.0.47 00-18-8b-4d-12-e1 dynamic
192.168.0.49 00-26-b9-38-2b-b0 dynamic
192.168.0.52 00-01-74-d1-6b-07 dynamic
192.168.0.53 00-06-72-c9-d7-e1 dynamic
192.168.0.111 00-AA-71-f8-b6-87 dynamic
192.168.0.161 00-21-91-57-1f-41 dynamic
192.168.0.200 00-03-ff-29-9a-19 dynamic
192.168.0.201 00-03-fa-28-97-08 dynamic
Assuming I’m paranoid and this isn’t normal, what will I most likely deduce is happening??
Assumptions:
- My default gateway is 192.168.0.1.
- No hardware changes were made between the first and second requests.
