ayi <p>Is there a simple ping-like command to test whether a DHCP service is running on a network? …on Linux</p>
ayi_2 <p>Even if you don’t use a Nagios monitoring server, you can grep the <a href="http://nagiosplugins.org/man/check_dhcp">check_dhcp</a> binary or compile it from source and use the check to test a DHCP-Server. E.g.</p> <pre><code class="lang-auto">./check_dhcp -v -s <dhcp_server_address> -r <expected_ip_address> -m <mac_address_touse> </code></pre>
