Documentation

Overview

Package nbp implements handling of an NBP (Network Boot Program) using an URL, e.g. http://[fe80::abcd:efff:fe12:3456]/my-nbp or tftp://10.0.0.1/my-nbp . The NBP information is only added if it is requested by the client.

Note that for DHCPv4, unless the URL is prefixed with a "http", "https" or "ftp" scheme, the URL will be split into TFTP server name (option 66) and Bootfile name (option 67), so the scheme will be stripped out, and it will be treated as a TFTP URL. Anything other than host name and file path will be ignored (no port, no query string, etc).

For DHCPv6 OPT_BOOTFILE_URL (option 59) is used, and the value is passed unmodified. If the query string is specified and contains a "param" key, its value is also passed as OPT_BOOTFILE_PARAM (option 60), so it will be duplicated between option 59 and 60.

Example usage:

server6:

• plugins:
• nbp: http://[2001:db8:a::1]/nbp

server4:

• plugins:
• nbp: tftp://10.0.0.254/nbp
