From version 2.3, the Linux kernel +no longer contains RARP support. For a replacement RARP daemon, see +.I +ftp://ftp.dementia.org/pub/net\-tools +.SH DESCRIPTION +.B 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 +.B rarp +program also allows a complete dump of the RARP table. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B \-V +Display the version of RARP in use. +.TP +.B \-v +Tell the user what is going on by being verbose. +.TP +.B "\-t type" +When setting or reading the RARP table, this optional parameter tells +.B rarp +which class of entries it should check for. The default value of +this parameter is +.B ether +(i.e. hardware code +.B 0x01 +for +.B "IEEE 802.3 10Mbps Ethernet". +Other values might include network technologies such as +.B AX.25 (ax25) +and +.B NET/ROM (netrom). +.TP +.B "\-a" +.TP +.B "\-\-list" +Lists the entries in the RARP table. +.TP +.B "\-d hostname" +.TP +.B "\-\-delete hostname" +Remove all RARP entries for the specified host. +.TP +.B "\-s hostname hw_addr" +.TP +.B "\-\-set hostname hw_addr" +Create a RARP address mapping entry for host +.B hostname +with hardware address set to +.BR 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. +.SH WARNING +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. +.SH FILES +.I /proc/net/rarp, +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR arp (8), +.BR route (8), +.BR ifconfig (8), +.BR netstat (8) +.SH AUTHORS +Ross D.
