SYNOPSIS
haddr [htype] [options]
DESCRIPTION
is a diagnostic function used to check the configuration of the Inter‐
net Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) server, bootpd(1M). This function can
only be run by the superuser, since it uses reserved ports.
constructs a boot request with the supplied parameters to send to the
BOOTP server, and prints the contents of the BOOTP server reply (as
shown in below). Note that formats and prints RFC-1048 or CMU-style
vendor information included in the BOOTREPLY.
The BOOTREQUEST packet is broadcast on the BOOTP server port, If a
BOOTP server is configured to respond to the request, it returns a
BOOTREPLY packet on the BOOTP client port, can only display BOOTREPLY
packets when the BOOTP server broadcasts the reply on the client port
or when the hardware address and IP address supplied in the BOOTREQUEST
are those of the host on which is run.
The following options provide the information for the BOOTREQUEST:
Hardware address of the BOOTP client; used in the BOOTREQUEST.
A BOOTP server responds if it has configuration
information for a host with this link-level
address.
Type of address specified as
haddr; may be or The default address type is
Specify the internet address of the BOOTP client to be used in
the BOOTREQUEST.
If the BOOTP client does not know its IP address,
the BOOTP server supplies it in the BOOTREPLY.
Otherwise, the server returns the BOOTREPLY
directly to ipaddr.
Specify the name of the BOOTP server to receive BOOTREQUEST.
When the BOOTP server is known, the BOOTREQUEST
is not broadcast.
Specify a vendor name to include vendor information in the
BOOTREPLAY.
vendor can be specified as or For any other ven‐
dor specification, the first four characters of
the parameter are used as the vendor magic
cookie.
Specify that should broadcast the reply back. This option is
only valid for on the HPUX 10.0 (or later)
release(s).
Specify a boot file needed by the BOOTP client.
If a boot file is specified in the BOOTREQUEST,
the BOOTP server responds only if the server host
can make the file available.
