What is ARP request?
ARP stands for address resolution protocol. This protocol is used to find the MAC address of the device corresponding to its IP address. To establish communication between two devices, the source device needs to generate the ARP request message. …
How do you check who’s using your WIFI?

Why is my Arp not showing my MAC address?
I eventually figured out that the arp, being a cache table, flushes itself periodically, which is why this method rarely succeeded. The solution is to ping all subnet, but after each ping perform an arp command to see if the IP matches your MAC address, which ensures you not to loose information because of the cache nature of the arp tables.
Why does ARP not show up on switch a?
When you tell us that the server is connected to switch A and that the SVI for that vlan is on switch B then that is an indication that switch A is acting only at layer 2 for that vlan. And that is the reason why the MAC of the server does not show up in the results of show arp on switch A.
Why is my AP not showing up as a WiFi client?
If I am managing a wireless network, I can’t ask people to ping my AP so I can see who’s using the wireless network. This should happen on it’s own. And while the AP uses ARP to speak to router, it also has to have the MAC addresses of the wireless clients.
How does ARP cache for all IPS on LAN?
The first time you need to communicate with an IP on the local network, your device broadcasts an ARP query, then caches the response. There’s nothing that proactively fills in the cache for all IPs on the LAN. In addition, old entries may be removed from the cache if they haven’t been used in a while.
