[et-mgmt-tools] Is a switch required?

[Ole Ersoy]

Hi,

I've been attempting to trouble shoot my attempt at pxe booting by reading through this:

http://www.linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.html

One of the things it says is a requirement is a switch.  Right now I'm using a router, for which I just turned off DHCP.  Anyone know if a switch is a requirement?

Another thing I noticed is that this was entered in the DCHP config file:

host llama0 {
hardware ethernet 04:4B:80:80:80:03;
fixed-address 192.168.0.254;
option host-name "llama0";
filename "pxelinux.0";
}

I don't have this in the DHCP config template that comes with cobbler.  Is something like this required?  

Thanks,
- Ole
