Dhcp relay test tool

This creates a commit and tag. Make sure to push it with git push --tags. The dev-version. Here is how to build dhcpdoctor using pyinstaller into a single binary file and then package that into a RPM for Red-Hat based systems. The resulting binary is setuid root, because dhcpdoctor needs to work on privileged UDP ports, but is usually run as a special user when invoked from Nagios or Icinga.

When auto is specified for the Broadcast parameter, the Broadcast parameter will be set to 0 if the command line -server option is specified. If the command line -server option is not specified, the Broadcast parameter will be set to 1. When auto is specified for the Giaddr parameter, the IP address assigned to the device name will be set if the command line -server option is specified.

The randomized MAC addresses will be assigned by using the MAC address value specified with the -hardware command line argument, but with different values for the last three bytes of the address.

When auto is specified for the Option 61 parameter, the client ID will be automatically allocated. The automatically allocated ID is a 7 byte long ID. The first byte is 0x01, and the remaining bits are the MAC address. By specifying auto for Broadcast, Giaddr, and Option 54 in the scenario data file, the tester can be automatically switched between client operation or relay operation based on whether the -server command line argument has been specified. Specific values can also be set for Broadcast, Giaddr, and Option 54 in the scenario data file.

When specific values are set, the -server command line argument will be ignored, and testing will be performed based on the scenario data. Scenario data defines one item of data transmitted by the tool. Multiple scenario data files can be specified from the command line to control communications with the DHCP server. Each transaction is composed of a series of operations, and the tool measures how many transactions the DHCP server can respond to correctly per second. Below is an example of the structure of a file that defines scenario data for a "5 way hand-shake" test.

Also note that broadcast flag 1 is specified for the discover. Below is an example of the structure of a file that defines scenario data for a "5 way hand-shake" relay test. If different Broadcast parameters are set for client and relay testing, and auto is specified for the Giaddr parameter, the tester can be switched between client operation or relay operation based on whether the -server command line argument has been specified.

Testing can be easily performed by editing scenario data files and adding options. Running the tester with the -v or -progress command line arguments displays statistical information on the standard output device, updated every second.

The following information is output. Lease renewal, even when performed via a relay. Introduction This document is a reference manual for Nippon C. Quick Start Guide This tool is started using the command format below. To perform a basic test, run the following command. First, the DHCP server's performance limit will be measured. Preparing for next test run.

The Tss. This folder will contain some useful output files that provide general information about the network and domain configuration of the computer.
