Thanks, but isn’t ARP contained inside a subnet? I guess you could find everything if you inspected the MAC table of the main switch

ARP is in the broadcast domain (otherwise known as a lan)

Vlans create multiple lans

no. Arp bridges layer 1 and 2. It’s switch local. With a VLAN, it becomes VLAN local, in the sense that 802.1q creates a “virtual” switch.

  Sorry, I’m not sure what you mean by “ARP bridges L1 and L2”. I’ll have to read more about this. Other than that, I understand what you said.

  ARP is in a single broadcast domain which can span multiple switches.
