Hi,

Please check your configuration about the gateway.
If the gateway's value is right, there is no need to set netmask value.

Hello,


Problem found with rnetboot and the way it creates booline for ppc boot on
a P7   lpar.


The line

what works is at open firmware prompt is:

boot 
/vdevice/l-lan@30000002:speed=auto,duplex=auto,192.168.14.115,,192.168.14.16,000.000.000.000,5,5,255.255.255.0,512



what doesn't  is

boot 
/vdevice/l-lan@30000002:speed=auto,duplex=auto,bootp,192.168.14.115,,192.168.14.16,192.168.14.254



I have eliminated it down to by changing

lpar_netboot.expect

to use

<                 set net_device(0) "$full_path_name:speed=$speed,duplex=
$duplex,bootp,$server_ip,,$client_ip,$gateway_ip"
---
>                 set net_device(0) "$full_path_name:speed=$speed,duplex=
$duplex,bootp,$server_ip,,$client_ip,$gateway_ip,,,$netmask,"

this works every time.

seems there are some "extra_args" options as in

 set net_device(0) "$full_path_name:speed=$speed,duplex=
$duplex,bootp,$server_ip,,$client_ip,$gateway_ip $extra_args"

but I can't figure out how to set them.

Am i missing something in the tables that would set this field?
