kafka consumer command line tool not working as expected

Question

I am using Kafka Command Line tool to consume data from a Kafka topic, but this is not working as expected. I am using the following command:

kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server totkafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost1:9092,localhost2:9092, localhost3:9092 --topic topic-name

and I am getting the following error stack:

Exception in thread "main" joptsimple.MultipleArgumentsForOptionException: Found multiple arguments for option bootstrap-server, but you asked for only one
    at joptsimple.OptionSet.valueOf(OptionSet.java:179)
    at kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$ConsumerConfig.<init>(ConsoleConsumer.scala:301)
    at kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$.main(ConsoleConsumer.scala:52)
    at kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer.main(ConsoleConsumer.scala)

May you please help me with this?

Best regards
