Its not the ips that cause the problem, but the mac addresses
and which are required for dhcp to send the right filenames to
the nodes:
group {
use-host-decl-names on;
option log-servers 192.168.5.254;
option broadcast-address 192.168.5.255;
option routers 192.168.5.254;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.5.254;
option domain-name "c1.cielocorp.com";
option root-path "192.168.5.254:/opt/ltsp/i386";
host ws001 {
#hardware ethernet 00:E0:06:E8:00:84;
hardware ethernet 00:20:78:12:81:80;
fixed-address 192.168.5.1;
#filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-6";
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";
##option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00; #This is NOT a MAC address
##option option-129 "NIC=ne IO=0x300";
}
host ws002 {
hardware ethernet 00:e0:4c:84:d3:99;
fixed-address 192.168.5.2;
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient" {
filename "/lts/eb-5[1].0.7-rtl8139.lzpxe";
} else if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "Etherboot" {
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";
}
# filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";
# option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00; #This is NOT a MAC address
# option option-160 "default=192:timeout=5";
# option option-192
"LTSP:::/tftpboot/lts/eb-5[1].0.7-rtl8139.lzpxe::0i0p:";
}
host ws003 {
hardware ethernet 00:20:78:12:81:81;
fixed-address 192.168.5.3;
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1";
}
}
Here is my file and rather than specifying the mac addresses for ws001, ws002,
and ws003 I would like dhcp to send the same data to both nodes.
