Configuring LAN Environments for Preboot Services
For the case where you have Preboot Services and DHCP running on separate servers, no network
configuration is required.
For the case where you have Preboot Services and DHCP are running on the same server, option tag
60 must be set on the DHCP server. Do the following to set up standard DHCP and Proxy DHCP on
the same server:
1 Stop the DHCP services on the Linux imaging server.
2 On this server, open the
3 Insert the following line in the file:
option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient";
4 Save the file.
5 Restart the DHCP service.
Configuring a WAN/VLAN with Preboot Services and DHCP Running on the Same Server
You can install ZENworks Linux Management (which includes Preboot Services) on the same
server where DHCP is installed and running. However, you must do the following to make it work:
Set option tag 60 on the DHCP server so that it can work with the novell-proxydhcp daemon.
See the steps in the previous section
on page
On the Linux server, edit the
LocalDHCPFlag = 0
to
LocalDHCPFlag = 1
Then restart the daemon so that the change is recognized by entering the following command
on the Linux server:
/etc/init.d/novell-proxydhcp restart
IMPORTANT: If the switch is acting as a firewall and limiting the type of traffic on the network,
understand that the novell-tftp and novell-zmgprebootpolicy daemons are not firewall or network
filter friendly. You should not attempt to run these daemons through a firewall. If users need to pass
preboot work through a firewall, then all Preboot Services work needs to be on the outside and
merely reference a Web service inside the firewall.
