Redboot gets wrong default server IP-addr from DHCP ?
I'm using Redboot on my embedded target and getting its IP etc from DHCP server
running on RedHat 9.0 host. I want the Host to be the server of all services. Host has IP 192.168.1.1 and Target gets 192.168.1.10 but Redboot keeps showing "default server IP: 192.168.1.10" which is its own IP addr. This is causing the subsequent TFTP download to fail. I have to manually modify the default server IP on target each time I reboot it. I wonder if this is a Redboot problem or it's a Redhat DHCP configure problem. Thanks in advance. |
Hi waynix,
Basically you have to define "server-name XXX;", where XXX is the name of your server. The client will tftp from this server. If it is already declared, please post you "/etc/dhcpd.conf" for we try to find the problem. Regards. |
it is possible to use different servers for DHCP and TFTP. This may be necessary if using a preexisting DHCP server. You can configure the next-server parameter in DHCP to point to the TFTP server
#/etc/dhcpd.conf |
Added server-name, problem solved. Thanks guys
