If a DHCP server does not already exist on the network, configure one. Refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Administration Guide for details. Make sure the configuration file contains the following so PXE booting is enabled for systems that support it:
allow booting; allow bootp; class "pxeclients" { match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient"; next-server <server-ip>; filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0"; } |
The IP address that follows the next-server option should be the IP address of the tftp server, which should be the same server as the DHCP server.
