How to send a DHCP Ethernet Broadcast packet(s) through the network

Hello,

I'm wondering if there is a way to send a DHCP Ethernet Broadcast packet(s) through our internal network using a Linux command or script? We are running our dhcp server on CentOS release 5 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 on an i686.

Thanks in advance

If you want to test the functionality of your dhcp server, try using either dhclient or dhcpcd as dhcp clients, use verbose options and see what happens...
