Configuring the DHCP server to support iSCSI boot
The DHCP server is an optional component that is only necessary for a dynamic iSCSI Boot configuration
setup. See "Dynamic iSCSI Boot Configuration (on page 9)" for more information. Configuring the DHCP
server to support iSCSI boot is different for IPv4 and IPv6.
To configure the DHCP server to support iSCSI boot, do one of the following:
• DHCP iSCSI boot configurations for IPv4 (on page 10)
• DHCP iSCSI boot configuration for IPv6 (on page 12)
DHCP iSCSI boot configurations for IPv4
The DHCP protocol includes a number of options that provide configuration information to the DHCP client.
For iSCSI boot, adapters support these DHCP configurations:
• DHCP option 17, root path (on page 11)
