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 {
request,
138
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-
// 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";
}
