NetBoot 501
Configuring NetBoot on Your Server
You use DHCP/NetBoot module of Server Settings to configure your Mac OS X Server to
provide NetBoot services to client computers.
Note: In the previous release of Mac OS X Server, “Static” was referred to as NB 1.0 and
“Dynamic” as NB 2.0.
To configure NetBoot:
1 Open Server Settings and click the Network tab.
2 Click DHCP/NetBoot and choose Configure DHCP/NetBoot.
3 Click the Logging tab and choose the level of logging you want: “Warning and errors
(normal)” or “Serious errors only (quiet).”
4 Click the NetBoot tab and select an Ethernet port to use for NetBoot.
You can select multiple ports to configure them simultaneously.
5 Select Static, Dynamic, or both.
“Static” provides NetBoot service for NetBoot 1.0 clients.
“Dynamic” provides NetBoot service for NetBoot 2.0 and NetBoot 3.0 clients.
If you chose Dynamic and have an existing DHCP infrastructure, skip the following four steps
and continue with Step 10.
6 For each Ethernet port you want to set up for NetBoot, repeat step 5.
7 If you chose Static or Both, click the Subnets tab and choose the matching port name.
8 Click Edit, then create an IP address range for the port. Make sure that the Enable DHCP
option is selected.
9 Repeat Steps 7 and 8 for each port over which you’re serving NetBoot.
10 Click the Image tab.
Select the Enable checkbox of the images that you want to make available to client
computers for startup, then click Apply Now.
Starting NetBoot on Your Server
You turn on NetBoot by starting DHCP.
Note: You must also enable one or more images on your server before client computers can
use NetBoot.
Important
Make sure that you set up only one static server on a network. Setting up
multiple static servers may prevent NetBoot 1.0 clients from being able to start up over
the network.
