      I am creating my images on een no dhcp lab. Rolling out on a dhcp envirment.

      When i want to capture my image i’ve created a static ip IPXE boot iso, i load in that iso in my esxi client all goes fine. Only when the IPXE made an connection to the fog server its again asking for a dhcp ip.

      I think that is programmed in the PXE boot script, is there a way i can program that so that if DHCP is not available i can enter an static ip ?

      i’ve added a gif.

        I have to ask the question why no dhcp on this network? Is there a technical or regulation requirement for no dhcp? FOG needs dhcp server to send out the needed boot information. That is a requirement.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          Its the server lan, no dhcp server there.

          On educational lan i can use our dhcp server and have pxe boot from fog fully working no problem.

          But i wanted to create my images on the fast VMware server so that i can capture and go home, and not have to work on my laptop.

            @doludizgin I strongly recommend you setup DHCP. There are alternatives like George’s USB stick but I believe they are not worthwhile (no offense @george1421).

              Hey Wayne:

              There ARE specific use cases for broken bios/firmware. But even with the USB boot sticks you still need to have dhcp services on your network.

                @doludizgin If you are keen you can surely compile your own iPXE binary with an embedded script asking for a static IP to enter. Take a a look at the wiki on how to do that.

                But I suggest you better run a DHCP server just as George and Wayne said…

                Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)
