There are 2 choices.  If you install K12LTSP in a system with 2 NICs, it 
comes up working with DHCP only on one of them (where you connect the 
clients) and the other can be connected to your main LAN.  If you only 
have one system and the clients can be on a separate switch behind it, 
this is the easy approach.

The other option is to install everything on a single subnet and 
configure a single DHCP server to hand out the necessary options for 
client booting.  How this is done will depend on the type of DHCP 
server, and it makes bandwidth more of a concern.
