To get started just enter:
fprobe -i <interface> <NNA server>:<port>


which: no fprobe in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/etc/BOSE:/home/Spherion/admin_scripts:/ubshomes/Spherion/admin_scripts:/opt/DynamicLinkManager/bin)
To get fprobe to boot on restart enter the following command:
echo " -i <interface> <NNA server>:<port>" >> /etc/rc.local

The output says that it cannot find the libpcap-devel package which comes from the Redhat optional repositories, so if you enable that on your server, that should download the missing package.
Take a look at this link for the instructions to enable the repo.
