Configuring DHCP Servers 31
The DHCP server is used by the PXE boot ROM to get an IP address
as well as other basic networking information (subnet mask, default
gateway, etc.).
The following instructions assume that:
• The network is already configured using DHCP.
• The DHCP server has not been previously configured for a PXE
bootstrap.
• There are no other TFTP servers running on the same network.
Configuring the DHCP Server:
By default options 60 and 201 are not set under Windows 2000.
These options will have to be added in order to tell PXE clients
where to find the Management Server.
1 If DHCP option 43 is set, remove it. (This is due to the fact that
Management Server is installed on the same machine as the
DHCP server.)
2 Add option 60, and set value to “PXEClient”. If option 60 does
not exist, see the following instructions on setting this option.
Either:
• From the main Windows menu select Start > Run.
• Enter Cmd in the Open: field. A Command shell appears.
• Enter netsh then press the Enter key.
• Enter dhcp then press the Enter key.
• Enter server \\servername (using the UNC name for the
server).
Or:
• Enter server <ip_address> (using the IP address of the
server.). A “dhcp server >” prompt appears in the command
window.
