| +.TH RARP 8 "7 April 2000" "rarpd" "Linux Programmer's Manual" |
| +.SH NAME |
| +rarpd \- Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) daemon |
| +.SH SYNOPSIS |
| +.B "rarpd [-aAvde] [-b bootdir ] [ interface ]" |
| +.SH DESCRIPTION |
| +.B Rarpd |
| +is a daemon which responds to RARP requests. |
| +RARP is used by some machines at boot time to discover their IP address. |
| +They provide their Ethernet address and |
| +.B rarpd |
| +responds with their IP address if it finds it in the ethers database |
| +(either |
| +.I /etc/ethers |
| +file or NIS+ lookup) and using DNS lookup if ethers database |
| +contains a hostname and not an IP address. |
| +By default |
| +.B rarpd |
| +also checks if a bootable image with a name starting with the IP address |
| +in hexadecimal uppercase letters is present in the TFTP boot directory |
| +(usually |
| +.I /tftpboot |
| +) before it decides to respond to the RARP request. |
| +.SH OPTIONS |
| +.TP |

| +present, then even if the Ethernet address is present in |
| +the ethers database but the bootable image for the resolved IP does not exist, |
| +.B rarpd |
| +will not respond to the request. |
| +.TP |
| +.B "\-b bootdir" |
| +Use |
| +.I bootdir |
| +instead of the default |
| +.I /tftpboot |
| +as the TFTP boot directory for bootable image checks. |
