CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor – Question3038 - CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor

An IS auditor should review the configuration of which of the following protocols to detect unauthorized mappings between the IP address and the media access control (MAC) address?

A. Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
B. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
C. Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
D. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation:
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) provides dynamic address mapping between an IP address and hardware address. Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is a platform- independent XML- based protocol, enabling applications to communicate with each other over the Internet, and does not deal with media access control (MAC) addresses. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) specifies how routers exchange routing table information. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data.
