Step 2: Direct the Thin Client to the Server Using DHCP Options

After you set up the folder structure and populate it with the correct files, you must
then direct the thin client to the location of the server using DHCP.
Information about the server and root directory is obtained from the following DHCP
options:
161 - The server.
•
162 - Root path to the file server (ftp/http/https).
•
If no root path is defined, /wnos is assumed.
·
If a root path is defined, the additional path will be appended to the URL supplied
·
by option 161.
184 - (Optional) Server username (to server specified in option 161).
•
185 - (Optional) Server password (to server specified in option 161).
•
Use the guidelines shown in Table 7 when creating and adding the DHCP options you
need. Ensure that within the DHCP scope the new DHCP option tags you create are
activated (this can be done using the Scope Options dialog box on the DHCP server
after you add them, or the Configure Options command before you add them).
