11.2 DHCP Troubleshooting
11.3 BOOTP Troubleshooting
If the BOOTP request is failing and you have configured your host to respond to the
request, check these areas:
Table 11-2:
DHCP Troubleshooting
Area to Check
Explanation
DHCP is enabled on the Termi-
nal Server
Use the
Set Server DHCP Enabled
command.
If you manually enter an IP address, DHCP is automatically
disabled.
Make sure the DHCP server is
operational.
Check to see that the DHCP server is on and is functioning
correctly.
The Terminal Server gets its IP
address from the DHCP server
Refer to the
DHCP Manager
on your DHCP server for
information about addresses in use. If the DHCP server
doesn’t list your Terminal Server IP address, there may be a
problem.
Table 11-3:
BOOTP Troubleshooting
Area to Check
Explanation
BOOTP is in your system’s
/etc/services
file
BOOTP must be an uncommented line in
/etc/services
.
The Terminal Server is in the
loadhost’s
/etc/hosts
file
The Terminal Server must be in this file for the host to
answer a BOOTP or TFTP request.
The download file is in the cor-
rect directory and is world-read-
able
The download file must be in the correct directory and
world-readable. Specify the complete pathname for the
download file in the BOOTP configuration file, or add a
default pathname to the download filename.
The Terminal Server and host are
in the same IP network
Some hosts will not allow BOOTP replies across IP net-
works. Either use a host running a different operating sys-
tem or put the Terminal Server in the same IP network as
the host.
