Configuring RARP Services
You can use a Bay Networks router as a Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
(RARP) server that assigns IP addresses to its clients on the local area network. To
configure a router as a RARP server, refer to the following information in this
chapter:
• An overview of the RARP protocol (see page 4-1)
• Enabling RARP services (see page 4-2)
• Accessing and editing RARP parameters (see page 4-3)
RARP Overview
When you configure a router to use RARP services, it acts as a RARP server. A
RARP server supplies clients on the same physical or logical LAN with IP
addresses (Figure 4-1).
