Reverse ARP.
You know what ARP is, right? A metyhod used to find out the MAC address of
a particular NIC from its IP address?
RARP is the reverse of this process. A method by which a workstation can
find out its IP address when it only knows its MAC address.
It's used usually for diskless workstations.
