7.2.5.3 DHCP Server File (dhcpd.conf)
On the DHCP server is the file dhcpd.conf, which includes the options associated with the specific VLAN in the DHCP mes-
sage. Following is a sample.
Note: The global option specifying the tftp server, which needs to be set to the NMS ip address, is:
option tftp-
server-name.)
Note: Refer to 13.2 (Appendix) for a complete example.

Messages Messages show the progress and status of each load creation. The initial messages
include the path to the software repository (where the zip files reside), the path to the
TFTP server root (where the loads will be placed), and a summary of any existing
loads already residing in the TFTP directory tree. All messages should be reviewed
carefully per the cautionary note stated above. Errors will be reported here, as well.
OK The OK button creates the load from the parameters entered and also creates a new
MD5SUM file for all the files in the load. After successfully creating one load, addi-
tional loads can be creating by editing the parameters and selecting OK repeatedly.
Close Exits the tool. All messages from the Messages window will be saved to a log file in
the logs directory (logs/boot_configurator.txt). If the log file gets too big, the oldest
entries will be deleted from the log. If, for some reason, saving the log should fail, the
user will be prompted to exit anyway or not, and will have a chance to at least copy and
paste the contents of the Messages window for future reference, if necessary.
