Dell EMC Associate – PowerEdge Server Specialist — Question 52

Which protocol resolves IP addresses into MAC addresses?

Answer options

• A. ARP
• B. DHCP
• C. DNS
• D. STP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), which specifically translates IP addresses to MAC addresses. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used for assigning IP addresses to devices, DNS (Domain Name System) resolves domain names to IP addresses, and STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is related to network topology management, not address resolution.
