ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for initial network address configuration using physical address resolution protocol. A device attempts a connection to the network, which causes address resolution (ARP) packets to be generated. The device monitors communications on the network for a specified number of unanswered ARP packets. Thereafter, the device adopt the network address in the unanswered ARP packets and responds to the unanswered ARP packets with the its' physical address.
