14.3.2 Setting Up a TFTP Server
Set up a TFTP server with YaST on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 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.
3 Click Enable to make sure that the server is started and included in the boot
routines. No further action from your side is required to secure this. xinetd starts
tftpd at boot time.
4 Click Open Port in Firewall to open the appropriate port in the firewall running
on your machine. If there is no firewall running on your server, this option is not
available.
5 Click Browse to browse for the boot image directory. The default directory
/tftpboot is created and selected automatically.
6 Click Finish to apply your settings and start the server.
Setting Up a TFTP Server Manually
1 Log in as root and install the packages tftp and xinetd.
2 If unavailable, create /srv/tftpboot and /srv/tftpboot/pxelinux
.cfg directories.
3 Add the appropriate files needed for the boot image as described in
"Using PXE Boot"
(page 212).
