Š
Use BIOS asset tag: This is the asset tag stored in the device’s BIOS, which is unique for
every device. This can be useful for tracking a device based on its asset tag.
Š Use BIOS serial number: This is the serial number stored in the device’s BIOS, which is
unique for every device. This can be useful for tracking a device based on its serial
number.
Š Do not automatically assign a name: Select this option if you do not want to use any of
the above options. This is the default option.
IP configuration: You can select either Use DHCP or Specify address List to identify devices
for Preboot Services work.
These are the settings that the device is told to use after it is imaged. It uses them for Preboot
Services work any time it reboots.
Š Use DHCP: Allows the devices to be dynamically assigned IP addresses.
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, using the DHCP option causes a “Could not look up
Internet address...” message to be displayed during bootup. This is because zislnx does not
know the IP address when DHCP is being used, so the
/etc/hosts
file contained in the
image does not have the new IP address and host name. Simply select the Log In Anyway
option to continue. Then to prevent this message from displaying each time the device
boots, edit the
/etc/hosts
file on the device and add in its IP address.
Š
Specify address list: Uses IP addresses to identify your devices. The addresses you add to
the list are available to be used by your devices. This way, you can specify a range of IP
addresses or individual IP addresses that you want your devices to use. For example, you
can ensure that all of your lab devices use addresses between 10.0.0.5 and 10.0.0.25.
If you select this option, the following fields are displayed:
Subnet mask: (Optional) For assigning devices to a specific subnet mask.
