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