 | | | PXE boot without DHCP? | PXE boot without DHCP? 2004-11-03 - By Robinson, Andrew W.
Back
In the lab, I have a kickstart server set up capable of hands-off, network
installation. As I start discussions to migrate the kickstart server out
into the production environment, I find the one piece that will be very
difficult to exercise control over is the dhcp server. The dhcp server tells
the pxe client its IP address, subnet mask, the IP address of the next
server and the initial boot file. Does anyone know of a way to pass these
four pieces of information to the pxe client without a dhcp server?
Thanks!
