I think I've come across more misleading information in the "31 days before your CCENT Exame" book but as I'm paranoid, I HAVE to be sure...
The book excerpt reads:
ARP is an IP protocol that finds a destination MAC when only the destination IP is known. The sending host broadcasts a frame with the IP address. Each host
on the network looks for a match with its IP, and the matching host responds with the proper MAC address. If the IP is from another network, the router
typically responds with the ccie service provider MAC address.
The portion highlight in red is completely incorrect right? It's been my understanding that before even trying to send an ARP requests, a sending host checks
the remote IP address against it's own IP and subnet mask to determine if the remote IP is on the same network. If the remote IP is on a seperate network, it
doesn't bother sending an ARP packet at all because it wouldn't do any good and ARPs for the MAC address of the default gateway instead (or just sends to the
default gateway MAC if it already knows it.
CCIE holders believe it is critical that networking professionals stay ahead of the increasing number of internal and external security breaches that
jeopardize today’s networks. Over the next three to five years, security and risk management will be the networking skills in greatest demand, according to
64 percent of the survey participants. One out of three expects network and information security breaches to remain a top concern of CIOs over the next ccie voice lab bootcampfive years.
