>Description:
Fix documentation in pxeboot.8 with regarding to the DHCP server
configuration lines.
The pxeboot binary is loaded just like any other boot file, by specifying
it in the DHCP server's configuration file. Below is a sample configura-
| tion for the ISC DHCP v3 server:
option domain-name "example.com";
option routers 10.0.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 10.0.0.255;
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1;
server-name "DHCPserver";
server-identifier 10.0.0.1;
+ next-server 10.0.0.1;
default-lease-time 120;
max-lease-time 120;
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
filename "pxeboot";
range 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.254;
}
+ next-server is the IP address of the next server in the bootstrap
+ process, i.e. your TFTP server. pxeboot recognizes option root-path
See also http://www.mavetju.org/weblog/html/00110.html for some
details on the next-server change in the ISC DHCP server.
