RARP(8) Linux System Administrator's Manual RARP(8)
rarp - manipulate the system RARP table
rarp [-V] [--version] [-h] [--help]
rarp -a
rarp [-v] -d hostname ...
rarp [-v] [-t type] -s hostname hw_addr
This program is obsolete. From version 2.3, the Linux kernel no
longer contains RARP support. For a replacement RARP daemon, see
ftp://ftp.dementia.org/pub/net-tools
Rarp manipulates the kernel's RARP table in various ways. The
primary options are clearing an address mapping entry and
manually setting up one. For debugging purposes, the rarp
program also allows a complete dump of the RARP table.
-V Display the version of RARP in use.
-v Tell the user what is going on by being verbose.
-t type
When setting or reading the RARP table, this optional
parameter tells rarp which class of entries it should
check for. The default value of this parameter is ether
(i.e. hardware code 0x01 for IEEE 802.3 10Mbps Ethernet .
Other values might include network technologies such as
AX.25 (ax25) and NET/ROM (netrom).
-a
--list Lists the entries in the RARP table.
-d hostname
--delete hostname
Remove all RARP entries for the specified host.
-s hostname hw_addr
--set hostname hw_addr
Create a RARP address mapping entry for host hostname with
hardware address set to hw_addr. The format of the
hardware address is dependent on the hardware class, but
for most classes one can assume that the usual
presentation can be used. For the Ethernet class, this is
6 bytes in hexadecimal, separated by colons.
Some systems (notably older Suns) assume that the host replying
to a RARP query can also provide other remote boot services.
Therefore never gratuitously add rarp entries unless you wish to
meet the wrath of the network administrator.
