Changing Advanced NetBoot Options
You can control additional NetBoot options by running the bootpd program directly
and by modifying configuration parameters in NetInfo. For more information, read the
bootpd man page.
To view the bootpd man page:
1 Open Terminal.
2 Type man bootpd.
Setting Up NetBoot Service Across Subnets
A network boot starts by a client computer broadcasting for any computers that will
respond to the Boot Service Discovery Protocol (BSDP). Routers are usually configured
by default to block broadcast traffic in order to reduce the amount of unnecessary data
flowing to other parts of the network. If you need to provide NetBoot service across
subnets you must configure the router to pass on BSDP traffic to the NetBoot server.
Check with your router manufacturer to see if your router is capable of passing
BSDP traffic.
