Port 69 and alternatives

[Doug Goncz]

Do any flavors of DHCP including dnsmasq include the ability to direct the PXE to boot from a port on an address, or does netboot always go to port 69?, I wonder out loud, here in my new group.

 

Hello.

 

I have a Galaxy Note and a server on it with port 6969 available for tftp but not port 69.

I'd like to netboot from it as a demo.

Sure, there might be blocks preventing this but I would like to try.

That is why I ask about port 69, it's the standard for tftp.

 

I have done a netboot successfully once using dnsmasq.

 

I also wonder if anyone ever did a CD containing a distro that would boot on more than one or ever most known hardware, that is i386, Sparc, etc, using an autodetect, or whether an autodetect netboot has been written up.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Doug

iPXE might do you but I've note experimented too much with using a different port.
