Dnsmasq TFTP/Option 66

[Martin_pedersen]

Hi there,

Does the Merlin firmware support BOOTP/TFTP/option 66 If I manually put in the config file ?

Merlin's firmware supports all BOOTP/TFTP options that dnsmasq supports

# dnsmasq --version
Dnsmasq version 2.63 Copyright (c) 2000-2012 Simon Kelley
Compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt no-RTC no-DBus no-i18n no-IDN DHCP DHCPv6 no-Lua TFTP no-conntrack

You may put desired dnsmasq options to /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add file.

Yes, I found that out dnsmasq is very useful, indeed. E.c., I found yesterday, that having put just to lines

enable-tftp
tftp-root=/opt/tftproot

,
to /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add, and reboted the router,
I was able to boot from PXE-chainloadable gPXE image that was in /opt/tftproot directory on the router.
So, tftp is fully functional
