DHCP and TFTP of configs
Though the documentation for the 2600s gives an example for a bootptab, information on using dhcp to specify a tftp server from which to download a configuration seems hard to come by. Does anyone know which dhcp settings are used to specify a tftp server and filename?
from looking at "show logging" it appears that after obtaining an address the switch attempts a tftp connection to the dhcp server, but I would like to be able to specify a tftp server.
I'm using ISC DHCPD and have tried adding the following to the dhcpd.conf file:
server-name "10.5.2.118";
next-server 10.5.2.118;
option option-150 10.5.2.118;
option tftp-server-name "10.5.2.118";
(I've previously defined option 150 as
option option-150 code 150 = ip-address; )
I've also tried two methods of specifying the filename:
option bootfile-name "/tesxt.txt";
filename "/tesssst.txt";
I've assigned an ip address in the host definition, and that goes through and gets assigned correctly, what am I missing?

Re: DHCP and TFTP of configs
Hi,
I'm no expert on DHCP but looking at this list of options:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters
TFTP server name could be option 66 or 150. I'm guessing probably 66 - although it would appear that you've already tried server-name...
Maybe things are case sensitive...
You could try:
Server-Name
Bootfile-Name
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob
