It would be also good to note that if your home router cannot be configured to give the Option 49 parameter to DHCP clients, that using the DNS name configuration option could also be done.

DTU's with 3.1 firmware ore capable of using DNS and TFTP to configure themselves.

Basically the DTU's will look up sunray-config-servers in in the domain name which they are given by your router. They will then TFTP their respective parms file. This parms file contains the server(s) to connect to.

See the manpage for utfwadm or the admin guide for more details.

where your unit got its boot information).

utfwload can be used to upgrade firmware if desired.

Hi,
I'm busy to set up a Sunray client @ home.
My DHCP server give a x-display-manager attribute when the client boots but nothing else...

I just read this comment:
(URL: http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0204/817-5490.pdf)

"DHCP option 49, the standard option of the X Window Display Manager, identifies 130.146.59.5 as the address of a Sun Ray server. In the absence of AltAuth and Auth-Srvr vendor-specific options, the DTU tries to find a Sun Ray server by broadcasting on the local subnet. If the broadcasts evoke no response, the DTU uses the address supplied in t option of the X Window Display Manager.provided that the DTU contains firmware at Sun Ray Server Software 2.0 patch level 114880-01 or
greater."

How can I check my firmware release on the client? and upgrade if necessary...

Thanks,
Xavier
