TCP/IP Protocol Settings

Altiris Deployment Server Communication

Deployment Solution
Advanced settings (driver command line): Add driver command-line entries to
the landrv.bat file.
This page lets you set up TCP/IP protocol settings for boot configurations. TCP/IP is the
default protocol when client computers boot to automation on a Windows network. If
you are using the IPX protocol, Deployment Server uses its own IP stack to work on IPX
networks.
Field Definitions
Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server: Select this option if you want client
computers to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
Use a static IP address: Select this option if you want to assign a specific IP address
to a client computer that is using this configuration. Enter an IP address, Subnet
mask, and Default gateway. You can also enter a Primary WINS server address and
a Secondary WINS server address if you want to resolve IP addresses and naming
conventions. You must create a configuration for each client computer, so that the IP
address is not the same for all computers.
This option lets you set communication properties for the Deployment Server. The
Deployment Server IP address, and Port fields are critical because they define how
client computers establish communications with the Deployment Server.
Example: The TCP port on the Deployment Server is set to 402 and the Port field in the
Boot Disk configuration is set to 502. These settings prevent client computers from
communicating with the Deployment Server because the port numbers do not match. To
establish communications between client computers and the Deployment Server,
change the Port field in the Boot Disk configuration to 402.
Note
The settings on this page are used only if you create an automation boot image where
the Automation Agent needs to know how to find the Deployment Server. If you intend
to create a network boot disk, you can ignore this page by clicking Next, as none of the
properties are used to create a network boot image].
