It sends DHCPREQUEST or DHCPINFORM traffic to check whether a DHCP server responds, making it a small monitoring and diagnostics companion rather than a general DHCP client. ### Projektgeschichte The official Mavetju tools page lists DHCPING 1.2 as a DHCP daemon ping program for checking whether a DHCP server is still running. Its change log records a 1.0 initial release, DHCPINFORM support in 1.1, and documentation/autoconfiguration/Solaris linking fixes in 1.2. ### Adoptionsgeschichte dhcping fits the long-lived Unix pattern of small health-check commands: it can be placed in monitoring scripts where a full DHCP client transaction or packet analyzer would be too heavy. The manual explicitly describes setup for a monitoring host against a DHCP server. ### Wie es verwendet wird The man page documents required client IP, server IP, and client hardware address arguments, a timeout, quiet and verbose modes, and DHCPREQUEST or DHCPINFORM operation. Because it binds to the bootpc port, the documentation notes that it must run with appropriate privileges. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Package nerds care about dhcping because it packages a single operational question as a command: is the DHCP server answering? That makes it useful in init scripts, monitoring checks, and network bring-up debugging without pulling in a larger tool. ### Zeitleiste - 2002: Change log revision records dhcping releases through version 1.2. - 1.0: Initial release. - 1.1: DHCPINFORM option added. - 1.2: Documentation, autoconfiguration, and Solaris/SunOS linking fixes. ### Related projects - dhcpdump is the sibling diagnostic tool for decoding DHCP packets. - dhcpd and dhclient are the server/client tools dhcping is commonly used around. ### Quellen - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger-Risiko:** blue / mittel - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** dhcping - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - dhcping - 1.2-6: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: dhcping from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | DHCP Daemon Ping Program | https://www.mavetju.org/unix/general.php - Nix - dhcping: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/dh/dhcping/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - dhcping - 1.2-6: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: dhcping from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | DHCP Daemon Ping Program | https://www.mavetju.org/unix/general.php - apk - dhcping - 1.2-r3: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: dhcping from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | dhcp daemon ping program | http://www.mavetju.org/unix/general.php - apk - dhcping-doc - 1.2-r3: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: dhcping-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | dhcp daemon ping program (documentation) | http://www.mavetju.org/unix/general.php - pacman - dhcping - 1.2-4: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: dhcping from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | Small tool to let you perform a dhcp-request to find out if a dhcp-server is still running | https://www.mavetju.org/unix/general.php - MacPorts - dhcping: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: net/dhcping/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Web development packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/web-dev-tools/) - Matched web development metadata. - [dhcpdump](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/dhcpdump/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, dhcp, diagnostics, networking. - [dnstracer](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/dnstracer/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, diagnostics, networking. - [dstp](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/dstp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, diagnostics, networking. - [iputils](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/iputils/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, diagnostics, networking. - [nali](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/nali/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, diagnostics, networking. - [scamper](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/scamper/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, diagnostics, networking. - [cloudflare-speed-cli](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/cloudflare-speed-cli/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, diagnostics, networking. - [fastrace](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/fastrace/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, diagnostics, networking. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
