Chapter 2

DNS resolvable machine name, 

share

 is the share name, and 

path

 is an optional 

path within that share. For name resolution, an entry in the terminal's host file 
(Setup | Connectivity | Internet | DNS | Hosts

Setup | Connectivity | Internet | DNS | Hosts

Setup | Connectivity | Internet | DNS | Hosts

Setup | Connectivity | Internet | DNS | Hosts) qualifies. For NFS, the directory 

MUST be exported with read/write/execute permissions and with root mapping to 
root, not to nobody. For SMB, the server's guest account needs to be activated and 
guest users need to be able to connect to that share for full control. The network 
services tree is automatically included as part of the network boot tree, so network 
services are not required here, but can be used to share the load between multiple 
servers. If large pages are to be printed, it is recommended that local-boot 
terminals use network services to provide space for the spool files.

NOSWAP

NOSWAP

NOSWAP

NOSWAP

Normal behavior for the terminal is to allow swapping via NFS (network services or 
network boot), although not activating this ability. Setup provides the ability for a 
terminal to turn on swapping and specify the size of the swap file. Because of the 
server resources required to support swapping (20+ MB per terminal that can 
swap), the NOSWAP DHCP option allows the network administrator to override 
what is configured in setup, to protect the disk space capacity on his server. For 
Option 18 or 128+, this is a string 

0080_NETSVC=YES

. For Option 43, it is a field 

with one byte of data. The data is ignored; however, including the option prevents 
swapping.

REFLASH

REFLASH

REFLASH

REFLASH

Normal behavior is to bring up the terminal's user interface in a network-boot 
environment. If this option is provided, the flash build utility is brought up and the 
terminal is put in a special mode, designed to reprogram itself or to program cards. 
Normally, this option is used only for the terminal’s Boot Server feature, which 
allows one terminal to be used to provide resources for other terminals to reflash 
themselves. For Option 18 or 128+, this is a string 

0080_NETSVC=YES

. For Option 

43, it is a field with one byte of data. The data is ignored; however, including the 
option prevents swapping.

MF_DIR

MF_DIR

MF_DIR

MF_DIR

When using the flash build utility, this option provides the network services-style 
path to the directory where the images to be programmed reside when shortcuts 
are used by the flash build utility. The syntax for NFS is 

machine:/path

, where 

machine

 is the IP address or DNS-resolvable machine name for the server, and 

path

 is the full pathname. The syntax for SMB (Windows server) is 

//machine/

share[/path]

, where 

machine

 is a DNS resolvable machine name, 

share

 is 

the share name, and 

path

 is an optional path within that share. For name
