If multiple network interfaces are listed, it’s likely that only one of the interfaces is
on the same subnet as your Xserve. If you’re not sure which interface is on the same
subnet, open Network Utility (located in /Applications/Utilities/) on your NetBoot
server and your Xserve. In the Info pane, choose different network interfaces on the
NetBoot server and your Xserve and compare the IP Address fields. Usually, computers
are on the same subnet if their IP addresses start with same numbers (for example,
they both start with 192.168.2).
