|
|
Dear Alex,
what exactly does this test do ? Seems to do a DHCP request.
But what exactly does -ClientIP do ? I always get a "DHCP NAK" from my Server (looking at wireshark) using different clientIP-addresses
And another question:
When using -cli: instead of -clientIP: there is no Error message displayed.
Does the parameter work correctly ?
(i.e -ho instead of -host is not allowed)
dhcpcheck.exe -host:192.168.68.68 -cli:192.168.68.101
ScriptRes:Host is alive:172 ms
dhcpcheck.exe -ho:192.168.68.68 -cli:192.168.68.101
ScriptRes:Unknown:DHCP Server name or IP is required
Best regards
Juergen |

It is not required parameter, so you have not to specify it. We have implemented such a parameter, because some DHCP servers does not respond on the packet without proper clients IP. If server replies NAK it means the server is alive as well.
