Manual Configuration Through the Network with RARP
The RARP daemon provides a mechanism for dynamic IP address assignment. When
a RARP-configured TCP/IP host boots, it broadcasts a RARP request for an IP
address. Your network must have this daemon running on some host. If you do not
know whether your network has one, please ask your system administrator or config-
ure the M208 with one of the other methods in this section.
To configure the M208 with RARP, you need to:
1 Make an entry in the /etc/ethers file for the new M208.
00:80:72:00:AB:CD spike
entry for the M208 named spike which has this Ethernet address.
2 Start the RARP daemon if it isn’t running. Send a HUP signal to it with the kill
command:
kill -HUP pid
