NetBoot

Security
You can secure access to NetBoot service on a case-by-case basis using the hardware address
of specific computers to which you specifically allow or deny access. A client computer’s
hardware address is automatically added to the NetBoot Filtering list when the client starts
up using NetBoot and is, by default, enabled to use NetBoot. See “Filtering NetBoot Client
Connections” on page 536.
Note: The hardware address for a computer using Mac OS X can be found by opening the
Network system preference and examining the Ethernet address under TCP/IP. The hardware
address for a computer using Mac OS 9 can be found by opening the TCP/IP control panel,
choosing Get Info from the File menu, and examining the hardware address.
NetBoot and AirPort
The use of AirPort wireless technology with NetBoot clients is not supported by Apple and
is discouraged.
