Hi George

Can I use your config just as is just change the ip address, regards

# Don't function as a DNS server:
port=0

# Log lots of extra information about DHCP transactions.
log-dhcp

# Set the root directory for files available via FTP.
tftp-root=/tftpboot

# The boot filename, Server name, Server Ip Address
dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,,<fog_server_IP>

# Disable re-use of the DHCP servername and filename fields as extra
# option space. That's to avoid confusing some old or broken DHCP clients.
dhcp-no-override

# inspect the vendor class string and match the text to set the tag
dhcp-vendorclass=BIOS,PXEClient:Arch:00000
dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI32,PXEClient:Arch:00006
dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI,PXEClient:Arch:00007
dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI64,PXEClient:Arch:00009

# Set the boot file name based on the matching tag from the vendor class (above)
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI32,i386-efi/ipxe.efi,,<fog_server_IP>
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI,ipxe.efi,,<fog_server_IP>
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI64,ipxe.efi,,<fog_server_IP>

# PXE menu.  The first part is the text displayed to the user.  The second is the timeout, in seconds.
pxe-prompt="Booting FOG Client", 1

# The known types are x86PC, PC98, IA64_EFI, Alpha, Arc_x86,
# Intel_Lean_Client, IA32_EFI, BC_EFI, Xscale_EFI and X86-64_EFI
# This option is first and will be the default if there is no input from the user.
pxe-service=X86PC, "Boot to FOG", undionly.kpxe
pxe-service=X86-64_EFI, "Boot to FOG UEFI", ipxe.efi
pxe-service=BC_EFI, "Boot to FOG UEFI PXE-BC", ipxe.efi

@TechWiz Yes should be fine. Just give it a try and see what you get.

Hi George

I need assistance to setup dnsmasq in ubuntu 18

[Sebastian Roth]

@TechWiz How should we possibly help you if you don’t tell us where exactly you are stuck and need help with.

[george1421]

@TechWiz Did you get dnsmasq installed? If so just save my config file in /etc/dnsmasq.d as ltsp.conf. Be sure to update the ltsp.conf file with the IP address of your fog server. Once that is done start dnsmasq using sudo systemctl start dnsmasq and then sudo systemctl enable dnsmasq to start the service at each reboot. Confirm that its running by issuing the following command ps aux|grep dnsmasq. It should show you that dnsmasq is running in memory. sudo systemctl status dnsmasq will also do that for you , but the output is a bit verbos.

Hi Sebastian

I installed ubuntu 18.04 server with all updates
Then installed fog 1.5.5
disabled fog dhcp

Struggeling with dnsmasq

[george1421]

@TechWiz said in Fog Setup with Exsiting DHCP Server onsite with no Bootp:

<fog_server_IP>

You should use my config exactly. Just change <fog_server_IP> (completely) to the IP address of your fog server.
