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.
