3 Restart the DHCP server by executing rcdhcpd restart.
If you plan on using SSH for the remote control of a PXE and Wake on LAN installation,
explicitly specify the IP address DHCP should provide to the installation target. To
achieve this, modify the above-mentioned DHCP configuration according to the follow-
ing example:
group {
# PXE related stuff
#
# "next server" defines the tftp server that will be used
next server ip_tftp_server:
#
# "filename" specifies the pxelinux image on the tftp server
# the server runs in chroot under /srv/tftpboot
filename "pxelinux.0";
host test { hardware ethernet mac_address;
The host statement introduces the hostname of the installation target. To bind the
hostname and IP address to a specific host, you must know and specify the system's
hardware (MAC) address. Replace all the variables used in this example with the actual
values that match your environment.
After restarting the DHCP server, it provides a static IP to the host specified, enabling
you to connect to the system via SSH.
4.3.2 Setting Up a TFTP Server
Set up a TFTP server with YaST on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and SUSE Linux
Enterprise or set it up manually on any other Linux operating system that supports
xinetd and tftp. The TFTP server delivers the boot image to the target system once it
boots and sends a request for it.
Setting Up a TFTP Server Using YaST
1 Log in as root.
2 Start YaST > Network Services > TFTP Server and install the requested package.
