TFTP boot problems:

check the name/location of the image in dhcp.conf

Is the tftp port open?

netstat -an | grep 69

is there a tftp service running?

netstat -tupln | grep ftp

 

Helpful info on fat client setup: https://wiki.cdot.senecacollege.ca/wiki/Set_up_FatClient_Configuration

Don’t forget to rebuild the image at the end of making changes!

 

Tweaking?

switch to “direct X” mode for better scalability and performance, at the expense of reduced security on the LAN
