# NAME

`isibootd` — TRFS based network boot server

# SYNOPSIS

`isibootd` | [`-d` tracelevel] [`-i` interface] [`-s` directory]

# DESCRIPTION

The `isibootd` command is a server which supports OMRON LUNA's network boot protocol based on the Transparent Remote File System (TRFS) protocol. The TRFS protocol uses special Ethernet type packets and works within a local network.

`isibootd` is a simple TRFS server that only supports client reads for booting and exports files in a specified directory. `isibootd` accepts requests only from clients listed in the /etc/ethers and have valid hostnames.

The options are as follows:

`-d` tracelevel
  Run `isibootd` in debug mode with specified tracelevel. The tracelevel can be value 1, 2, or 3, and greater tracelevel provides more detailed trace output. The server will not fork in the debug mode.
`-i` interface
  Specify a network interface to service network boot. If not specified `isibootd` searches available network interfaces (excluding loopback) and use the first configured “up” one.
`-s` directory
  Specify a directory containing boot files to be served by `isibootd`. If not specified `isibootd` uses /tftpboot by default.
