DHCP boot protocol
If you choose DHCP booting, your IP address, hostname, gateway,
netmask, domain name, and DNS server information are all set up
for you at boot time. It should also set up your NIS information.
However, the current DHCP client-side implementation from Red Hat
does not request this from the server, so you will have to set that up
yourself if you use it. See the “DNS Parameters Configuration”
section in this chapter.
The file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
is modified when
you select DHCP.
BOOTP boot protocol
BOOTP is a subset of DHCP and will not be fully described here. It
gets your IP address, hostname, gateway and netmask, but does not
set up your DNS server information or NIS authentication, so you
will have to do that yourself.
The file
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
is modified when
you select BOOTP.
Choose the Boot Protocol that is appropriate for your system. If you
do not know which protocol to choose, ask your system administrator.
The following instructions assume you are using the Static protocol.
