BlogPurpose of the DHCP Discovery Tool
The purpose of the DHCP Discovery tool is to help you find IPV4 DHCP Servers on each of your network interfaces and see the information they are offering in response to a DHCP_DISCOVER query. You can specify which network interface you want to use to detect DHCP servers. It works with both wired and wireless 802.11 interfaces.About the DHCP Discovery Tool
The NetScanTools Pro DHCP Server Discovery tool detects IPv4 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP or DHCPv4) servers on the local network interfaces of your choice. It shows all responding DHCP servers both legitimate and servers that are not supposed to be on your network subnet (sometimes called rogue DHCP servers).
