8.8 The TFTP Server Name Screen
Use the
TFTP Server Name
screen to set the TFTP server address which is passed to the clients using DHCP
option 66. The DHCP clients in the EMG local network, such as STB devices that support the TFTP booting
mechanism, can then use the TFTP server address or domain name for initial system settings download.
RFC 2132 defines the option 66 open standard. DHCP option 66 carries the IP address or the domain
name of a single TFTP server.
