4.5.5. Setup of the DHCP Server

• pass information to target

• dynamic ip address assignment can avoid terrible problems!

• example dhcpd.conf:

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 {
        option routers          10.0.0.2;
        option subnet-mask      255.0.0.0;

        option domain-name      "local.net";
        option domain-name-servers ns.local.net;

        host trgt {     hardware ethernet       00:30:BF:01:02:D0;
                        fixed-address           10.0.0.99;
                        option root-path        "/opt/eldk/ppc_8xx";
                        option host-name        "tqm";
                        next-server             10.0.0.2;
                        filename                "/tftpboot/TQM8xxL/uImage";
        }
}
