Hi,
I tried to use bootptest and i noticed in the log file on the server
machine that bootpd received a request from a machine with hardware
address 000000000000.
On my linux box:
# bootptest -h <bootpserver machine>
Sending to XX.XX.XX.XX (request) xid:3664 vend-rfc1395
Sending to XX.XX.XX.XX (request) xid:3664 secs:1 vend-rfc1395
Sending to XX.XX.XX.XX (request) xid:3664 secs:2 vend-rfc1395
10 times.
Obviously no success. The log file on the <bootpserver machine>
meanwhile says:
Jun 20 10:05:24 <bootpserver> bootpd[11320]: hardware address not found:
000000000000
Jun 20 10:05:27 <bootpserver> last message repeated X times.
My question:
Do i have to tell bootptest somehow what the HW address of the eth-card
is? I couldn't find it in the docs. Any help appreciated.
By the way. If i use bootptest without the HW address option -h
(indicating i already know my IP address) it does work. But this is
ofcourse not what i want.
Greetings Toon.
