## How to Configure the TFTP Service on Your DHCP Server

1. Determine whether the TFTP server package is already installed on the server. Type:

       # rpm -qa | grep tftp-server

2. If TFTP is not listed, install it as follows:
   1. Mount the CD/DVD drive.

          # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

   2. Install TFTP.
      - For RHEL 4.8, insert the DVD or CD4 and type:

            # rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/tftp-server*

      - For RHEL 5.3, insert the DVD or CD2 and type:

            # rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/tftp-server*

      - For SLES10 SP2, insert DVD1 or CD1 and type:

            # rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/suse/noarch/yast2-tftp-server*

      - For SLES11, insert DVD1 and type:

            # rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/suse/noarch/yast2-tftp-server*

   3. Unmount the CD/DVD drive.

          # umount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

   4. Remove the CD or DVD from the CD/DVD drive.
3. Edit and save the `/etc/xinetd.d/tftp` file.

   Make the following changes:

   - Change the `-s /tftpboot` entry to `-v -s /home/pxeboot`.
   - Change the disable attribute to `no`.
4. Restart the inetd server.

       # service xinetd restart
