There is a bit of naming confusion between the traditional BOOTP (UDP/67) service and Bootparams (RPC service). No Sun/Solaris system I'm aware of has ever used BOOTP as part of the netboot protocol. So your Ultra2 is probably using RARP/TFTP/rpc.bootparams/NFS for netbooting. DHCP was added as a possibility in the Solaris8/OBP3.x timeframe (from memory). No version of Solaris has ever included a standalone bootp server, only the DHCP server which can of course be configured for BOOTP support. It is common for someone to have installed the HP Jetadmin package for Solaris to enable the bootp server that comes as part of it (usually unintentionally). As it uses the same port, you cannot run that bootp server and the solaris DHCP server simultaneously. -- Darren This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
