Subhendu,
Sorry for the stooopid filename clarification request. I see what you mean. The main entry has it, so the "host llama0" entry does not need it. I'm just reading up on DHCP now, so it's starting to come to me :-).
Thanks,
- Ole

Hi,
I've been attempting to trouble shoot my attempt at pxe booting by
reading through this:
http://www.linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.html
One of the things it says is a requirement is a switch. Right now I'm
using a router, for which I just turned off DHCP. Anyone know if a
switch is a requirement?
Another thing I noticed is that this was entered in the DCHP config file:
host llama0 {
hardware ethernet 04:4B:80:80:80:03;
fixed-address 192.168.0.254;
option host-name "llama0";
filename "pxelinux.0";
}
I don't have this in the DHCP config template that comes with
cobbler. Is something like this required? Thanks,
- Ole
DHCP works via subnet broadcast - if you are doing DHCP across a router,
the router needs to have dhcp-relay function turned on. Otherwise you
are stuck.
The filename is set in the main ISC dhcp definition if you are using the
shipped /etc/cobbler/dhcp.template. Hence it is inherited by individual
entries. No need to set it individually for each host entry.
