Thanks for your help, Jim...I feel that I'm close, but there just may be a
dhcp wall between here and the desired result.
Background: The vxWorks cardset is in a vme rack, with the first card
connected to our lab's 10BT. The other cards boot over the shared memory
network (backplane), using the first card as shared memory master. This
works fine using IRIX as a bootp host. Unfortunately we are required to use
Solaris 2.6, not IRIX. BTW the shared memory master card assigns IP
addresses to the slave cards based on their slot position...so while the
master gets assigned 138.254.130.120 on the 10BT network (by dhcp/bootp), it
assigns _itself_ 138.254.130.121 on the shared memory network, and assigns
the card in slot 4 138.254.130.125.
By using the -d debug option of dhcpd, I can see that dhcpd appears confused
by the slave card's bootp request -- coming from what appears to be a fake
hardware address (00:02:8A:FE:82:7D). It's apparent that bootp on the
indigo responds by IP (138.254.130.125) and hands the card the requested
bootfile, while dhcpd attempts to respond by hardware address (invalid in
this case) and fails.
Is there a way to make dhcpd's "bootp" to respond by IP? (the IRIX bootp
man states that it responds by IP if it exists, or by hardware address if IP
is not present.) In the dhcpd.conf man page, there is reference to a
"dhcp-client-identifier" option that can go in the host{} section -- do you
happen to know how to use this option?
Thanks much,
John Parsons
