to nail this, tcpdump might be helpful - 'sudo apt-get install tcpdump' if needed useful idioms: trace traffic from/to a specific MAC address: tcpdump -i br0 -vvv ether host 00:18:31:8e:ee:41 more specific filters: DHCP: tcpdump -i br0 -vvv port bootpc or port bootps TFTP: tcpdump -i br0 -vvv port tftp NFS mount issues: tcpdump -i br0 -vvv port 111 or port 2049 for tracking NFS mount problems, this might help: http://stromberg.dnsalias.org/~strombrg/NFS-troubleshooting-2.html here's a trace of the start of the DHCP exchange of a beaglebone with the DHCP server: alix:~# tcpdump -i br0 port bootps -vvv tcpdump: listening on br0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes 08:33:00.910137 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 255, id 1, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 328) 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: [no cksum] BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 00:18:31:8f:4f:e4 (oui Unknown), length 300, xid 0x318f6415, secs 5, Flags [none] (0x0000) Client-Ethernet-Address 00:18:31:8f:4f:e4 (oui Unknown) file "/boot/uImage" Vendor-rfc1048 Extensions Magic Cookie 0x63825363 DHCP-Message Option 53, length 1: Discover MSZ Option 57, length 2: 576 Parameter-Request Option 55, length 3: Subnet-Mask, Default-Gateway, Domain-Name-Server END Option 255, length 0 PAD Option 0, length 0, occurs 47 08:33:00.911150 IP (tos 0x10, ttl 128, id 0, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 328) alix-intern.stiwoll.mah.priv.at.bootps > bb1.stiwoll.mah.priv.at.bootpc: [udp sum ok] BOOTP/DHCP, Reply, length 300, xid 0x318f6415, secs 5, Flags [none] (0x0000) Your-IP bb1.stiwoll.mah.priv.at Server-IP alix-intern.stiwoll.mah.priv.at Client-Ethernet-Address 00:18:31:8f:4f:e4 (oui Unknown) file "nfsroot/bb-ubuntu/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.21-xenomai+" Vendor-rfc1048 Extensions Magic Cookie 0x63825363 DHCP-Message Option 53, length 1: Offer Server-ID Option 54, length 4: alix-intern.stiwoll.mah.priv.at Lease-Time Option 51, length 4: 36000 Subnet-Mask Option 1, length 4: 255.255.255.224 Default-Gateway Option 3, length 4: alix-intern.stiwoll.mah.priv.at Domain-Name-Server Option 6, length 8: alix-intern.stiwoll.mah.priv.at,mail.mah.priv.at END Option 255, length 0 PAD Option 0, length 0, occurs 22 etc etc - Michael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
