3.3.1. Command Line Configuration

If the network server is not running X, the pxeboot utility, a part of the system-config-netboot package, can be used to add hosts which are allowed to connect to the PXE server:

 pxeboot -a -K <kickstart> -O <os-identifier> -r <value><host>

The following list explains the options:

-a — Specifies that a host is to be added.
-K<kickstart> — The location of the kickstart file, if available.
-O<os-identifier> — Specifies the operating system identifier as defined in Section 3.2, “PXE Boot Configuration”.
-r<value> — Specifies the ram disk size.
<host> — Specifies the IP address or hostname of the host to add.

For more information on command line options available for the pxeboot command, refer to the pxeboot man page.
