DHCP issue PXE-E51

[slashdotpwn]

When setting up the DHCP. It said no router address found. I am setting it up as a stand alone. What should I put in this case.

[Sebastian Roth]

@slashdotpwn What do you mean by standalone? Don’t you have a router/gateway in your network to access the internet? Just put in this address when the installer asks you for it.

[slashdotpwn]

It isn’t connecting to the internet though. I am setting a static IP and connecting to it that way.

[slashdotpwn]

Okay so I found out that dhcp was turned off. It looks like my dhcpd.conf file is maybe wrong. It looks like it isn’t assigning ip addresses. I am leaving the office for tonight. I will be back in the morning to hopefully figure this out.

@slashdotpwn said in DHCP issue PXE-E51:

next-server 192.168.1.1;

This doesn’t look right! What IP address does your FOG server have? Edit the dhcpd.conf file and put your FOG server IP there! Then run sudo systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server.service

EDIT: Ahh, wait a second. Looking at the other screenshot I see you have used 192.168.1.1 by intend? Please tell us the IPs you wanna use for your clients and the IP your FOG server has (post a picture of sudo ip a s).

[slashdotpwn]

@sebastian-roth My fog server is 192.168.1.1

[Sebastian Roth]

@slashdotpwn Why are the clients in a totally different subnet?

[slashdotpwn]

@sebastian-roth Okay so I work for a small mobility firm. I came in and they were using Fog to image their machines. I have no experience with this client at all. So when I came in it was not working. So I am not 100% on why things are the way they are I am just trying to figure it out and get it up and running so I can make new images and start from scratch. If I put the fog server on the main network it will cause our techs to not boot properly.

[george1421]

I worked with the OP via IM for a bit and we have things working for dhcp. The root cause is the dhcp config file had a wrong subnet scope defined (10.x.x.x) where the fog server was on the 192.168.1.x subnet. Once we got the configuration file fixed the target computers pxe booted without issue. At this point the OP can pxe boot the computers. He has an issue with imported images from FOG 1.2.0, but that is a story for a new thread.
