1pxe-pdhcp
2===========
3
4A implementation of Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) server.
5
6pxe-pdhcp works with DHCP server running on another host. The DHCP server
7doesn't need to be configured for any PXE specific options. This means that
8you can set up network boot environment without re-configuring existent DHCP
9server.
10
11 usage: pxe-pdhcp [-d] [-i interface]
12 [-l listen address] [-t tftp address] [-b broadcast address]
13 <nbp name>
14
15pxe-pdhcp listens on two well-known ports (67/udp and 68/udp) so the root
16privilege is needed to run.
17
18With -d option, pxe-pdhcp runs on foreground. This option is useful for debugging.
19
20Specify nework interface name ('eth0' for example, on Linux) to -i option.
21
22If the network interface has more than one IP address, use -l, -t, -b options.
23-i or (-l,-t and -b) option is required.
24
25Finally specify the path of Network Bootstrap Program on the TFTP server to
26<nbp name> option. It will be 'pxelinux.0' if you are using PXELINUX.
