Ethernet Support on Client Computers
NetBoot is supported only over the built-in Ethernet connection. Multiple Ethernet ports are
not supported on client computers.
Network Requirements
Recent Macintosh computers use NetBoot version 2.0, which relies on DHCP for addressing
during NetBoot. You can set up as many NetBoot 2.0 servers on a subnet as you need.
The following Macintosh computers use NetBoot version 1.0, and require BootP addressing
during NetBoot:
m tray-loading iMac computers
m Power Macintosh G3 (blue and white) computers
The version of NetBoot that a server uses is controlled by the Static and Dynamic checkboxes
on the NetBoot tab of the DHCP/NetBoot configuration information in Server Settings. Static
specifies that the server uses NetBoot 1.0, Dynamic specifies NetBoot 2.0.
You can have only one server providing NetBoot 1.0 BootP addressing on a subnet.
See the following section, “Capacity Planning,” for more information on this topic and other
issues relevant to your network configuration when using NetBoot.
