4. Set up your DHCP configuration file (for example,

/etc/dhcpd.conf

) so that

only PXEClient requests receive PXEClient responses.

Add the following entry to the DHCP configuration file. Refer to the

dhcp.conf

man page for more information.

class "PXE" {match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier,

0, 9) ="PXEClient"; option vendor-class-identifier

"PXEClient";}

Note –

You can start with a sample DHCP configuration file in

/tmp/sles8-pxefiles

/tmp/suse9-pxefiles

directory.

5. For SUSE Linux Professional 9.0 only: Edit the

/etc/sysconfig/dhcpd

file and

be sure the

DHCPD_INTERFACE

is set to the interface that is connected to the

For example, if you are using Ethernet interface 0, the

DHCPD_INTERFACE

variable

would be set as follows:

DHCPD_INTERFACE="eth0"

# /etc/init.d/dhcpd start

# chkconfig dhcpd on

command:

# yast -i portmap
