rarpd daemon finds the host name, OKIPRINTER, listed as the name associated with the network hardware address.

4.The rarpd then consults the “/etc/hosts” file and looks up the name OKIPRINTER. It finds an IP address (in this case 192.168.42.55) associated with the name OKIPRINTER.

5.The rarpd daemon transmits a response to the Net- work Print Server with the IP address 192.168.42.55. The Network Print Server will then use this IP address for all subsequent transmis- sions.

For all these steps to work properly, at least one RARP daemon (rarpd) must be running on the RARP server. On most UNIX systems, this can be tested by using the ps command with the show all processes option. Unfortunately, the ps options differ from one UNIX workstation to another. Perform a man ps at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the ps command for a particular workstation. If rarpd is not running on a workstation, type man rarpd at the UNIX prompt to consult a manual page on the RARP daemon and how to start it.

Limitations

Often TCP/IP networks are divided into subnets. RARP does not work across subnets. When installing an Network Print Server, make sure the following two criteria are met for RARP to work properly.

1.Both the RARP server and the Network Print Server are physically attached to the same subnet.
