NAME

bootptest - send BOOTP queries and print responses  

SYNOPSIS

bootptest server-name [template-file]  

DESCRIPTION

bootptest sends a BOOTP query to the host specified as server-name and then waits for and prints out all responses until an interrupt terminates the program.

The 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. This feature may be used to verify that the BOOTP server correctly honors the format of any option template provided in request packets. (All response packets should have exactly the same option format as the request packet if a template was provided.)
