BOOTPD.LOG File

All BOOTP requests and responses are recorded in the bootpd.log file in the default InetDHome directory. Requests are time and date stamped to provide a chronological record of BOOTP events on the network. A sample segment from a bootpd.log file is as follows:

You can include more detail in the log by inserting the -d option in the configuration for bootpdw. Up to four -d options (separated by spaces) can be inserted for increasing levels of detail. Enter the -d option(s) in the Optional Parameters box of the BOOTPD Daemon Configuration dialog box.
