For 10.20, a system can determine its IP address(es) at bootup
time rather than relying on a hardwired configuration file.
Applications have been added to find IP addresses using the
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP, RFC 903). A startup script
has been modified to use this information when configuring network
interfaces.
Impact |
 |
Only users that turn on RARP functionality will see an impact.
There are no performance or functionality issues.
Compatibility |
|
These RARP applications conform to the RARP protocol as specified
in RFC 903. They are designed to be used interchangeably with RARP
applications in other vendors' systems.
