27 This program is obsolete. From version 2.3, the Linux kernel
28 no longer contains RARP support. For a replacement RARP
29 daemon, see

31 !!DESCRIPTION
32
33
34 __Rarp__ manipulates the kernel's RARP table in various
35 ways. The primary options are clearing an address mapping
36 entry and manually setting up one. For debugging purposes,
37 the __rarp__ program also allows a complete dump of the
38 RARP table.

58 When setting or reading the RARP table, this optional
59 parameter tells __rarp__ which class of entries it should
60 check for. The default value of this parameter is
61 __ether__ (i.e. hardware code __0x01__ for __IEEE
62 802.3 10Mbps Ethernet .__ Other values might include
63 network technologies such as __AX.25 (ax25)__ and
64 __NET/ROM (netrom).__

91 Create a RARP address mapping entry for host __hostname__
92 with hardware address set to __hw_addr__ class, but for
93 most classes one can assume that the usual presentation can
94 be used. For the Ethernet class, this is 6 bytes in
95 hexadecimal, separated by colons.
96 !!WARNING
97
98
99 Some systems (notably older Suns) assume that the host
100 replying to a RARP query can also provide other remote boot
101 services. Therefore never gratuitously add rarp entries
102 unless you wish to meet the wrath of the network
103 administrator.
