TFTP

Depending on how you set up the boot sequence, the TFTP server delivers either the booter or JavaOS to the JavaStation computers (see Table 8-1).

To Set Up a JavaStation TFTP Server

1. Follow the instructions in the TCP/IP and Data Communications Administration Guide to configure a server on the network as a TFTP server.

   This guide is available at http://docs.sun.com. From the main web page, click the following links in the order shown.

   • System Administration

   • Solaris 2.6 System Administrator Collection, Volume 1

   • Setting Up and Administering TCP/IP Networks

   • Configuring TCP/IP on the Network

   • Configuring Standard TCP/IP Services.

   Also, refer to the inetd(1M) and in.tftpd(1M) man pages.

2. Use dhtadm to add the relevant boot information to dhcptab, as described in Table 8-6:

(If Bootfile is not set, the name of the booter file is assumed to be the Client Class Identifier - see Table 8-5.) Set BootSrvA to the IP address of the TFTP server.
