Can an ignite server listen on more than one subnet?

We have an ignite server setup with many NICs installed on various networks that our systems reside on. The problem is that these subnets are not accessible to each other. However the ignite server has a NIC for each. When igniting a server though, it seems to only listen on one of the subnets. Is there a way to tell ignite or tftp to listen on all networks?

Shalom,

Yes.

You have to set up a boothelper.

Sally, this time the answer is here:

http://docs.hp.com/en/IUX/faq.html#d0e403

Can an Ignite-UX server install clients on multiple subnets?

or in the Admin Guide section "Setting Up the Boot-Helper System".

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
