bootptest - send BOOTP queries and print responses

Credits

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

Description

bootptest  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.

Name

       bootptest - send BOOTP queries and print responses

Options

-fbootfile 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.

       -mmagic_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.
