BOOTPTEST(8)							  BOOTPTEST(8)

NAME
       bootptest - send BOOTP queries and print responses

SYNOPSIS
       bootptest  [ -f bootfile ] [ -h ] [ -m magic_number ] server-name [tem‐
       plate-file]

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.

OPTIONS
       -f     bootfile	Fill  in the boot file field of the request with boot‐
	      file.

       -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.

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  Califor‐
       nia, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and its contributors.	(See the copy‐
       right notice in print-bootp.c)
