Install NetBoot

Use the NetBoot CD to install the NetBoot.pkg ﬁle on your server. You can install the

package locally on the server, or use the Installer Tool to install remotely. You should also

copy the NetBoot Desktop Admin application to your admin computer.

Configure NetBoot With Server Admin

For NetBoot client computers to start up using a particular port on your Mac OS X Server,

you need to enable NetBoot on that port. To do this, specify which version of NetBoot you

want NetBoot client computers on a port to use. NetBoot 1.0 uses static IP addresses and

NetBoot 2.0 uses DHCP to dynamically assign IP addresses to NetBoot client computers.

To enable NetBoot on a port:

1 Open Server Admin and log in to the server you want to administer.

2 Click the Network tab.

3 Click DHCP/NetBoot and choose Conﬁgure DHCP/NetBoot.

4 Click NetBoot and choose the version of NetBoot (NB 1 or NB 2) to use for each port listed.

5 If you choose NB 1, click Subnets and choose the matching port name from the pop-up

menu, then create an IP address range for the port.

If you have an existing DHCP infrastructure, you don’t need to conﬁgure an IP address range

for computers using only NetBoot 2.0.

You can choose both NetBoot versions for a port, but if you do, you must set an IP address

range for the port.

Important You should conﬁgure only one server on a network or subnet to use NB 1.
