pip install -r requirements.txt
usage: rf_discover.py [-h]
A tool to discover Redfish services
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Example: rf_discover.py
The tool will perform an SSDP request to find all available Redfish services. Once all of the responses are collected, it will print each service with its UUID and service root.
