[K12OSN] Use K12LTSP with existing DHCP server

Hi Kevin,

Is your new server a two nic server setup? If so, how about keeping your
existing Winders dhcp server " as is" and running your K12LTSP/eth0 nic,
on port 1067, to " hide "it from the Winders machines? This way you can
run 506 machines on the same subnet if you want to without even doing any
vlan hocus pocus:)
It is easy to setup your K12LTSP server to operate on port 1067 for
dishing dhcp to " just" your thin clients.
What medium are you using to boot? if you are using PXE via the onboard
nics , for example this option would be too much of a hassle for you
though.

You can also setup in your /etc/dhcp-k12ltsp.conf file to specify your
Winders dhcp server ip address at
next-server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
# simply enter your winders dhcp server here

then in a bash terminal do a ' server dhcpd restart'


Let us know.

Take Care,

Barry Cisna
