Setting Up a Network Configuration Server

If you plan to configure certain hosts as network clients, you must configure at least one machine on your network as a network configuration server. (Refer to "Network Configuration Servers" for an introduction.)

Setting up a network configuration server involves:

1. Turning on the network configuration daemons:

   • in.tftpd

   • in.rarpd

   • rpc.bootparamd

2. Editing and maintaining the network configuration files on the configuration server.

   "How to Set Up a Network Configuration Server" assumes that you have already set up the network configuration server for local files mode.
