HTTPBoot server setup in Home Environment

HTTPBoot server setup in Home Environment

[Karunakar P]

Hello all,
I have a question on verifying the HTTPBoot in Home Environment which is "Do I need to have a DHCP server configured to serve HTTPClient?"
My typical dhcp configuration for HTTPBoot is as follows
         default-lease-time 600;
         max-lease-time 7200;
         allow booting;
         option domain-name " MyBootSource.com ";
         option domain-name-servers 192.168.x.y;
         option vendor-class-identifier "HTTPClient";
         option bootfile-name "http://www.MyBootSource.com/SourceFolder/FileName.ext";
          subnet 192.168.x.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                   range 192.168.x.yy 192.168.x.zz;
}
 With the above configuration, the HTTPBoot works in a normal environment.

 Also I have tried commenting the "option bootfile-name ..." and I see that the Discover and Offer packets are exchanged but the Request is not coming from client.
If I want to make the HTTPBoot work in home environment, then what changes should I make to my dhcp configuration ?
Thanks,
Karunakar
