To Run the DHCP Server in Debug Mode

    Stop and restart the DHCP server in debug mode.

For example:

  1. Stop the server using the shutdown script:


    /etc/init.d/dhcp stop
    

  2. Restart the server in debug/verbose mode, using the -d and -v flags in addition to any flags specified in the /etc/init.d/dhcp startup script. For example, if the i option is present, type the command in the following format:


    /usr/lib/inet/in.dhcpd -i interface_names  -d -v
