.TH RARP 8 "2008\-10\-03" "net\-tools" "Linux System Administrator's Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
rarp \- manipulate the system RARP table
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B "rarp [\-V] [\-\-version] [\-h] [\-\-help]"
|
|
.br
|
|
.B "rarp \-a"
|
|
.br
|
|
.B "rarp [\-v] \-d hostname ..."
|
|
.br
|
|
.B "rarp [\-v] [\-t type] \-s hostname hw_addr"
|
|
.SH NOTE
|
|
.P
|
|
This program is obsolete. 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.
