Unix/linux cli-command to test lease and see what server is answering?

[Todd Snyder]

I've never been able to find a tool that would do that - I ended up
making a small linux VM that I use for testing.  Not so useful on a
remote box, but it works great when I'm trying out new configs.

You could use tcpdump/wireshark to watch for the requests.  It's not
quite as friendly as a nice utility, but..

Cheers.

Todd.

Hi all.

Tried to find out how i can see who answers and dhcp requiest and other
usefull command for unix /linux, haven't really find any. Would prefer
to use the "builtin" software for OS X and debian for instance, but all
great tools are welcome. All help are apreciated.

thx
