Configure HP-UX DHCP server to answer PXE requests?

[Lars Bylander]

I am trying to configure a HP-UX 11i DHCP server to lease an IP number to PC-computers booting up with PXE enabled. The PXE server is on a windows machine.

The DHCP server do lease a ip number if the PC computer is set to boot as a DHCP client without PXE. The /etc/dhcptab file:

# cat dhcptab
dhcp_pool_group:\
pool-name=alfvenlab_dchp1:\
addr-pool-start-address=130.237.45.166:\
addr-pool-last-address=130.237.45.170:\
lease-time=3600:\
lease-policy=accept-new-clients:\
allow-bootp-clients=FALSE:\
call-on-assignment=/etc/dhcp_ass_script:\
hn:\
subnet-mask=255.255.255.0:\
gw=130.237.45.1:\
ds=130.237.45.51 130.237.72.250 130.237.72.246:\
ba=130.237.45.255:\
nt=130.237.222.20 130.237.48.28


Any ideas?

No solution.

But a search for DHCP Server PXE did come up with a few pc related threads and this one seemed interesting.

These three manuals make mention, but I doulc not find anything like a cookbook:

Steven,

Thank you for your answer. I could not follow your first link, it did only show an empty page.
