Was working on an HP DL380 in my lab, and needed a quick way to setup a DHCP server so that I could get an IP on the iLo module. That’s when I found this cool Open Source utility:
TFTPD32
This little app has a TFTP Server, TFT Client, DHCP Server, and Syslog Server. So if you are stuck in a lab (like I was) with only your Win32 laptop, this is a great tool. I have only tested the DHCP Server so far, but one of the things I immediately liked about it was that you could choose what interface you wanted the DHCP server to listen on.
It also has a “Log viewer” tab, so you can see whether the requests are getting to your daemon, and whether an address was handed out (see below).
In my case I just needed to supply one DHCP address from my laptop. It was very straightforward to setup and configure.

Saw today in the ‘downloads’ section that R70.30 has been released. Not a whole of fixes that have been documented at this point. It is possible that more ‘fixes’ are included than are actually documented in the release notes. I have the Release Notes and Installation Guide posted below: R70.30 Release Notes R70.30 Installation Guide

I had mentioned in a previous post that R70 had been submitted for Common Criteria Certification. Looks like the NIAP page was updated recently as it now reflects R70 and several other products. R70 “Software Blades” will be certified on Open Servers, and on the Power-1 and UTM platforms (see VID 10387 and 10388). Again, [...]
