Reverse Abode Resolution Protocol (RARP)
Written on 03:53 by Ahmet Emir
When an IP apparatus happens to be a diskless machine, it has no way of initially alive its
IP address. But it does apperceive its MAC address. Reverse Abode Resolution Protocol (RARP)
discovers the character of the IP abode for diskless machines by sending out a packet that
includes its MAC abode and a appeal for the IP abode assigned to that MAC address. A
designated machine, alleged a RARP server, responds with the acknowledgment and the character crisis is
over. RARP uses the advice it does apperceive about the machine’s MAC abode to apprentice its
IP abode and complete the machine’s ID portrait.
Figure 2.11 shows a diskless workstation allurement for its IP abode with a RARP broadcast.
RARP resolves Ethernet (MAC) addresses to IP addresses.
