RARP Client
Once the RARP client receives a RARP reply, it configures its IP networking components.
The client copies its IP address configuration information into its local RAM. Then it can use its MAC and IP addresses to send packets on the network to other clients.
When the diskless workstation reboots or is shutdown, the respective IP configuration information is lost.
Consequently, each time the diskless workstation boots, it must obtain its IP configuration settings from a RARP server.
