Parameters

/p:
Suppresses display of detected packets from any of the authorized DHCP servers specified in ValidDHCPServerList.
/a:"AlertNameList"
Sends alert messages to the names in AlertNameList if any unauthorized DHCP servers are found.
/i: AlertInterval
Specifies the alert frequency in seconds.
ComputerIPAddress
Specifies the IP address of the computer from which you are running Dhcploc. If the computer has multiple adapters, you must specify the IP address of the adapter that is connected to the subnet you want to test.
