Suppose two systems are there in two different LANs, LAN-1 and LAN-2 respectively.System-1 (present in LAN-1) wants to communicate to system-2(present in LAN-2), for which sys-1 needs the MAC ddress of that system in adition to its IP address.So, it sends an ARP request messgae which contains the destination IP address which is broadcasted by the switch present at the interface of LAN-2.
My doubt is, how does the system-2 will come to know, that the request messgae belongs to it..? I think dest. IP which is present inside the ARP request message belongs to the public IP(of the LAN).[correct me, if i am wrong].Then,how the system-2 is going to reslove that request packet belongs to it..? Please explain.
