To support Integrity systems, a lightweight Next Server boot helper may be set up on each subnet. A DHCP PXE response includes a Server Address (SiAddr) field that indicates where to get additional network boot content. Normally, the value in a response informs the client to get subsequent boot content from the same boot server. The /etc/bootptab file can be configured to inform the client to switch to the master Ignite server for other boot content. The bootptab sa option is used to indicate the value. This is commonly described as a Next Server value, since the Server Address value is typically only given when the value differs from the initial boot server. The master Ignite server IP address must be used.
In this approach, each subnet must have a DHCP PXE server, but Ignite does not need to be installed on that system. Therefore, there is no need to have multiple systems with the same Ignite software version installed on them. The

The Next Server response is configured in /etc/bootptab using the sa option. The IP address given with the sa option must be the DHCP PXE Next Server (SiAddr) IP address for additional boot content.
This example configuration is for the following complex network diagram.
