Liston, You need to enable "port fast" or whatever it's called on Extreme gear. There should be another feature your LAN guys can configure so if you plug a switch into a port configured for "port fast", the port will be auto-disabled. You NEED port fast enabled for DHCP and PXE to work. /Brian/ On Thu, 2004-03-11 at 13:43, kickstart-list@xxxxxxxx wrote: > How do you get command-line on the compaq servers? > > I don't recall see option for that.

Instead of setting up PXE or DHCP, or creating a new diskette image with a ks.cfg for each server, is there a way to set the ip address, netmask and gateway from the command line when syslinux comes up? > > > > > > I am using: > > > > > > linux text ks=nfs:192.168.1.1:/path/to/ks.cfg > > > > > > Can you do something like this: > > > > > > linux text ks=nfs:192.168.1.1:/path/to/ks.cfg,eth0=192.168.1.2,netmask=255.255.255.0,gateway=192.168.1.254 > > > > > > Thanks! > > > -- > > > Thomas Cameron, RHCE, CNE, MCSE, MCT > > > Consultant > > > Linux Design and Engineering > > > Bank of America > > > (972) 997-9641 > > > > > > The opinions expressed in this message are mine alone and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of my employer, Bank of America. > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > Kickstart-list mailing list > > > Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Kickstart-list mailing list > > Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Kickstart-list mailing list > Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list -- Brian Long | | | Americas IT Hosting Sys Admin | .|||. .|||.
