NAME

dhcpdump - DHCP packet dumper

SYNOPSIS

dhcpdump [-h regular-expression]

DESCRIPTION

This command parses the output of tcpdump to display the dhcp-packets for easier checking and debugging.

USAGE

tcpdump -lenx -s 1500 port bootps or port bootpc | dhcpdump

If you want to filter a specific Client Hardware Address (CHADDR), then you can specifiy it as a regular expressions:

tcpdump -lenx -s 1500 port bootps or port bootpc | dhcpdump -h ^00:c0:4f

This will display only the packets with Client Hardware Addresses which start with 00:c0:4f.

BUGS

Not all the parameter options are printed verbose, because of lack of documentation. Not all the options are tested, because of lack of clients/servers with these options. If you have a dump of one of them, please send them to me and I'll incorperate them.
