Reverse ARP is used to Obtain IP address from a Server(responsible for IP addresses allocation) by providing its layer 2 (MAC) address.
Arp (address resolution protocol)
ARP is a Third layer or Network layer protocol. ARP is an address resolution protocol . The mechanism used by ARP to resolve IP address is look up table.
Dynamic ARP table entries are created whne a client makes an ARP request that cannot be satisfied by data already in the ARP table.
ARP = Air Raid Precautions.
Two potential network problems that can result from ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) operation are ARP spoofing and ARP cache poisoning. In ARP spoofing, an attacker sends false ARP messages to associate their MAC address with the IP address of another device, leading to man-in-the-middle attacks. ARP cache poisoning involves corrupting the ARP cache of a device by injecting incorrect mappings, which can disrupt network communication and redirect traffic maliciously. Both issues can compromise network security and integrity.
Reverse address protocol
arp -a show arp
To view the ARP table, you can use the command arp -a in the command prompt on Windows or arp on Unix/Linux systems. This command displays the IP addresses and their corresponding MAC addresses that the device has recently communicated with. Additionally, on Linux, you can also use ip neigh to view the ARP table.

arp -d ip-address
No - in order to use ARP it would have to send a broadcast for information with a return address of itself. Since it doesn't have an IP address it cannot do that. Furthermore, without an IP address it couldn't participate on the network.

static arp
RARP is short from Reverse Address resolution protocol. As the name suggests RARP functions the reverse as ARP. That is it maps MAC address to IP address.
