From K12LTSP Wiki

Please see article by Bhaskar Manda from ltsp-discuss.Sorry Still trying to get used to this CHuck

DHCP using Port 1067 on K12LTSP 6.0.0

I installed the new version of K12LTSP. I had a difficult time getting the clients to pick up an IP. Some of the older instructions don't seem to work in this new version. I searched the net and was able to get this setup to work on my system. I am a newcomer to linux so please feel free to edit this mercilessly. Pete

In the etc/init.d/dhcpd file near the very top, say line 5, insert the line:

run_dhcpd=1

I also added this line under the line that said: # description: dhcpd provide access to Dynamic Host Control Protocol:

DHCPORT="1067"

I also added these lines under the line that said: RETVAL=0

Comment out the line:

prog="dhcpd"

and Add this line:

prog= dhcpd -p $DHCPORT

In the etc/dhcpd.conf file I added these lines:

At the top where all the options are listed add these lines:

option etherboot-req code 128 = string;

option kernel-options code 129 = text;

In the shared workstation settings under the "option log servers" entry, add these lines:

option etherboot-req e4:45:74:68:00:00;

option kernel-options "DPORT=1067";

Under the host ws001 under the line that said: filename "/lts/vmlinuz.ltsp" add these lines;

option etherboot-req e4:45:74:68:00:00;

option kernel-options "DPORT=1067";

Also to make bootable floppies that will use port 1067 as the DHCP port, go to www.rom-o-matic.net and once you select your network card, hit the "Configure" button and check the box that says: ALTERNATE_DHCP_PORTS_1067_1068. Then at the bottom of the page hit "Get Rom".
