Comment:
replace sparse information w/ internal link to the howto chapter; thanks to Aurélien for the hint

  
  The reason that there can only be one main server in each school network is that the main server provides DHCP, and there can be only one machine doing so in each network. It is possible to move services from the main server to other machines by setting up the service on another machine, and subsequently updating the DNS configuration, pointing the DNS alias for that service to the right computer.
  
- In order to simplify the standard setup of Skolelinux, the Internet connection runs over a separate router, also called gateway. See the [[https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/Requirements#Internet_router|Internet router]] chapter for details how to set up such a gateway if it is not possible to configure an existing one as needed.

  === The default network setup ===
  
  DHCP on the main server serves the 10.0.0.0/8 network, providing a PXE boot menu where you can choose whether to install a new
  server/workstation, boot a thin client or a diskless workstation, run memtest, or boot from the local hard disk.
  
- This is designed to be modified - that is, you can have the NFS-root in syslinux pointing to one of the LTSP servers or change the DHCP next-server option (stored in LDAP) to have clients directly boot via PXE from the terminal server.
+ This is designed to be modified; for details, see [[DebianEdu/Documentation/Buster/HowTo/NetworkClients#Configuring_the_PXE_menu|the related HowTo]] chapter.
  
  DHCP on the LTSP servers only serves a dedicated network on the second interface (192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are preconfigured options) and should seldom need to be changed.
