Bootp on two Adapters

[Derek Whigham_1]

I have a server that is connected to two VLAN's , I have lots of hardware the runs on each VLAN which require bootp information to boot. This includes the Subnet Mask and Gateway. I need to supply Different Values for SM and GW to the different VLAN's. Can this be done using bootp

I'm pretty sure it can.. as a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure I've done that in the past.

However, we did have a static MAC-to-IP mapping for all hosts. I combined this with the tc (template-host) tag:

We configured some 'defaults' at the top of the bootp config (default.vlan1, default.vlan2, ..) defining the vlan specific fields. That way we could use 'uniform' entries for all hosts with one field fixing the vlan-specifics: tc=default.vlanX

Good luck, let us know how it turns out :-)
