- DARPA Reverse Address Resolution Protocol server
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd [-d]-a
/usr/sbin/in.rarpd [-d]deviceunit
in.rarpd starts a daemon that responds to Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) requests.The daemon forks a copy of itself that runs in background. Itmust be run as root.
RARP is used by machines at boot time to discover their InternetProtocol (IP) address. The booting machine provides its Ethernet address in aRARP request message. Using theethers andhosts databases,in.rarpd maps this Ethernetaddress into the corresponding IP address which it returns to the bootingmachine in an RARP reply message. The booting machine must be listedin both databases forin.rarpd to locate its IP address.in.rarpd issuesno reply when it fails to locate an IP address.
in.rarpd uses the STREAMS-based Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI) message set tocommunicate directly with the datalink device driver.
The following options are supported:
Get the list of available network interfaces from IP using the SIOCGIFADDR ioctl and start a RARP daemon process on each interface returned.
Print assorted debugging messages while executing.
Example 1 Starting Anin.rarpd Daemon For Each Network Interface Name Returned From/dev/ip:
The following command starts anin.rarpd for each network interface name returnedfrom/dev/ip:
example# /usr/sbin/in.rarpd-a
Example 2 Starting Anin.rarpd Daemon On The Device/dev/le With The Device Instance Number0
The following command starts onein.rarpd on the device/dev/le with thedevice instance number0.
example# /usr/sbin/in.rarpd le 0
