ABLE uses the siaddr or “next server” parameter, provided by the DHCP server which supplied the network configuration, for its TFTP server address. If the DHCP server does not specify a “next server” parameter ABLE attempts to create a suitable IP address for the server by selecting the first address of the network specified by the DHCP server. For example if the DHCP server gave an IP address response of 192.168.7.238 ABLE will use the first address of the class C range (192.168.7.1). If the behaviour outline here is not wanted the DHCP server must specify an appropriate “next server” parameter.
