NAME

       rarp, RARP - Reverse address resolution protocol

DESCRIPTION

       You  use the RARP protocol to map dynamically between the Internet Protocol (IP) and network interface MAC addresses. RARP is often used to
       boot a Solaris client. RARP clients include the SPARC boot PROM, x86 boot floppy, SunOS kernel, and ifconfig(1M). in.rarpd(1M) provides the
       server-side implementation.

       RARP request timeout behavior in application-layer clients is governed by the /etc/inet/rarp default file. To tune the number of retries an
       application attempts before giving up, set the RARP_RETRIES variable in /etc/inet/rarp. If the file is not present or RARP_RETRIES  is  not
       initialized within it, applications retry a maximum of five times with a eight second wait between retries.
