  rarp(8)                             CLIX                             rarp(8)



  NAME

    rarp - Displays Internet address information for a machine address

  SYNOPSIS

    rarp [-t] machine-address

  FLAGS

    -t  Causes a RARP request to be transmitted for the specified machine
        address before displaying the information.

  DESCRIPTION

    The rarp command displays the the machine-to-Internet address translation
    based on the entry's existence in the local system's ARP table.  By
    default, a simple lookup is performed on the specified address and, if it
    exists, the entry is displayed.  If the -t flag is used, a RARP request is
    transmitted.  If a response to the query is heard within 15 seconds, the
    entry is added to the ARP table, and the information is displayed.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To display the Internet address and corresponding nodename for the
        machine address 08-00-36-f3-3d-01, if it resides in the local ARP
        table, key in the following:

        rarp 08-00-36-f3-3d-01


    2.  To query the machine-to-Internet address mapping for the address
        aa:0:4:0:19:3c and display the entry, key in the following:

        rarp -t aa:0:4:0:19:3c


  DIAGNOSTICS

              This message is displayed if the format of the machine address
              is that of an X.25 address (all digits 0-9).

    rarp: invalid Ethernet address 'machine-address'
              This message is displayed if the format of the machine address
