Preparing a DHCP Server for Network Boot

Install a DHCP server on the host computer and configure it as follows.

Preparing a DHCP Server for Network Boot

To prepare a DHCP server, proceed as follows:

1. Adapt the DHCP configuration file /etc/dhcpd.conf. The following snippet

shows a DHCP configuration for two boards with fixed MAC to IP address
assignment and two network interfaces each. Fixed assignment means that a
specific client will receive the same IP address at each issued DHCP request.

subnet 192.168.9.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

default-lease-time 43200;

max-lease-time 86400;

// address of the server from which to upload the sources

// (here the tftp-server)

next-server 192.168.9.55;

group {

// configuration for Board 1 - Interface 1

host board_1_1 {

// MAC Address of the board received in the dhcp-

request,

// e.g.

hardware ethernet 00:80:42:26:79:9e;

// fixed IP address which will be assigned to the client

// according to the network addressing scheme

fixed-address 192.168.9.111;

// initial boot file which is to be loaded by the client

filename "pxelinux.0";
