NAME

bootptest – send BOOTP queries and print responses

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS


bootptest [-f bootfile] [-h] [-m magic_number] server-name [template-file]

DESCRIPTION

The bootptest utility sends BOOTP requests to the host specified as server-name at one-second intervals until either a response is received, or until ten requests have gone unanswered. After a response is received, bootptest will wait one more second listening for additional responses.

OPTIONS

-f bootfile
  Fill in the boot file field of the request with bootfile.
-h
  Use the hardware (Ethernet) address to identify the client. By default, the IP address is copied into the request indicating that this client already knows its IP address.
-m magic_number
  Initialize the first word of the vendor options field with magic_number.

A template-file may be specified, in which case bootptest uses the (binary) contents of this file to initialize the options area of the request packet.

AUTHORS

The bootptest utility is a combination of original and derived works. The main program module ( bootptest.c) is original work by Gordon W. Ross <Mt gwr@mc.com>. The packet printing module ( print-bootp.c) is a slightly modified version of a file from the BSD tcpdump(1) program.

This program includes software developed by the University of California, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and its contributors. (See the copyright notice in print-bootp.c.)
