SYNOPSIS

       rahosts [ra-options] -M modes [ expression ]

DESCRIPTION

       Rahosts	reads  argus(8)  data from an argus data source, and outputs a list of sorted network addresses.  Based on user supplied criteria,
       rahosts can generate lists of IP addresses and/or MAC addresses, if available.  With IP addresses, rahosts can track the full  network  and
       host address, or any network address, based on the mode indicated.

       Like  all  ra  based  clients, rahosts supports a large number of options, configuration through .rarc files, and input filtering using the
       terminating filter expression.

       See the ra(1) man page for details on ra-options and expression syntax.

RAHOSTS SPECIFIC OPTIONS

       -M mode
	    Specify mode of operation.	Supported address modes are ip, ether and all address types.  The default is to output IP addresses.  When
	    IP Addresses are being processed, the network address can be specified with the additional modes class, classA, classB and classC.

EXAMPLES

       By  default, rahosts will output the unique IP addresses seen in an argus data stream.  Using the -M mode options you can output all unique
       class B network addresses that access the server narly.wave.com:

	      rahosts -r argus.data -M classB host narly.wave.com

       Print the ethernet addresses used to support the HTTP service.

	      rahosts -r argus.data -M ether dst port http
