Configuration and Network Boot
This chapter provides information on preparing a TFTP server and a DHCP server and describes
how to boot the blades from a TFTP server via network.
9.1 Configuration and Network Boot
This chapter describes how to boot the blades from a TFTP server via network. For this, a
separate computer (server or PC) outside the Centellis 2100 system is required. This computer
acts as a DHCP and TFTP server for the blades within the Centellis 2100 shelf. This server must
reside in the same subnet as the Centellis 2100 system.
The following configuration examples assume that this host runs the Linux operating system.
The blades must have access to the DHCP server and to the TFTP server to retrieve files. Note
that the kernel and ramdisk images are dependent on the blades plugged into the shelf and,
therefore, are not part of this delivery.
The information in the following subsections assumes that you have set the shelf address on
both ATCA-MF106 shelf managers to the same value.
