How to Enable Multicast in Etherboot 5.2 using mini-slamd 1) Edit src\Config and add the following compile flags # Enable Multicast Support CFLAGS+= -DALLMULTI -DMULTICAST_LEVEL1 -DMULTICAST_LEVEL2 # Download files via mini-slapd CFLAGS+= -DDOWNLOAD_PROTO_SLAM 3) Compile mini-slamd cd etherboot\etherboot-5.1\contrib\mini-slamd\ make 4) Modify /etc/dhcpd.conf Set the file name for the NIC to: filename "slam-d:///"; or filename "x-slam://192.168.0.253:10000/239.255.1.1:10000"; where: The first IP is the IP of your server. The second IP is the multicast IP and udp port to use. (as hard coded in mini-slamd) 5) Run mini-slamd with the filename to be delivered as the parameter: etherboot/etherboot-5.1/contrib/mini-slamd/mini-slamd /tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19.bgz mini-slamd Facts: - A lot less dots appear on the screen using slamd - There is a one hop limit on the packets, to limit the distance the packets will travel. So the packets are non routable. - If you compile mini-slamd with -DDEBUG=1 you will get some debugging output from the server.
