TFTP ARP Timeout

cammykool · Aug 27, 2019, 9:39 PM

i am currently in the process of configuring my fog server for a large deployment. We had been using WDS but that was starting to fail us. I have fog setup properly and have a webserver. but whevener i try to boot a pxe machine it gives me ARP timeout. we have a winserver box running DHCP and custom DNS. the server (Ubuntu) has all of the network information set correctly and ive updated fog settings and ran updateIP. Winserver seems to think the DNS ip is DHCP according to the pxe boot. (DHCP is 10.1.0.1 DNS is 10.1.0.2 and 10.1.0.3) This is a fresh install.

Thank you!!

Attached is a photo of when pxe tries to boot.

Please post the settings here and we surely can help you fix this.

As well you might want to check this out: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Using_Windows_Server_2012_.28R1_and_later.29_DHCP_Policy

If you have the DHCP pointing to the correct IP (TFTP should be running on your FOG server!), then we need to have a closer look at this one.

What’s the FOG server IP?
What Linux OS is installed?
Is TFTP running? netstat -antup | grep "69"
Firewall disabled? iptables -L -n -v
SELinux disabled? getenforce

Please post the output of all those commands.

DHCP server configuration or fog config? Dont have direct access to DHCP boss does. Just ent him that link and he is working on it now

@cammykool Ok, this all looks fine. Can you provide output of ip a s command as well?

its set to static info

IP 10.1.80.1
DHCP: 10.1.0.1
DNS: 10.1.0.2, 10.1.0.3

inet 10.1.80.1/8 brd 10.255.255.255

What I do notice here is that this broadcast address seems to not match the netmask we see in the picture you posted earlier. Either it’s /16 (255.255.0.0) or /8 (255.0.0.0). While this shouldn’t cause the ARP timeout I am still wondering why you have this mixed up here.

its set to static info

IP 10.1.80.1
DHCP: 10.1.0.1

Really static or maybe DHCP?? FOG server should always be configured to have a static IP!!

Did you re-run the installer after you ran the updateIP script as well?

cammykool · Aug 27, 2019, 10:06 PM

no i did not
i will

Sebastian Roth · Aug 27, 2019, 10:07 PM

@cammykool Fix the subnet mask on your FOG server first!

Sebastian Roth · Aug 27, 2019, 10:08 PM

@cammykool Sorry but I need to head off now. Time to catch some sleep…

cammykool · Aug 28, 2019, 12:53 AM

@Sebastian-Roth

67 is set to 10.1.80.1 in DHCP and ubuntu has it set up manually for the same

george1421 · Aug 27, 2019, 10:13 PM

@cammykool OK wait a minute. Why does the first picture have a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (/16) and the ubuntu server have 255.0.0.0 (/8)

george1421 · Aug 27, 2019, 10:15 PM

Also lets confirm what you have exactly configured in your dhcp server. What do you have defined for dhcp option 66 and 67 respectively?

cammykool · Aug 27, 2019, 10:15 PM

@george1421

i noticed in fogsettings it is set to 255.255.0.0. i changed it there.

george1421 · Aug 27, 2019, 10:17 PM

@cammykool You also need to change it in the network manager since you are using ubuntu.

Then from the fog server command prompt key in ip addr show and confirm that the subnet mask matches the rest of your network. If it doesn’t reboot the fog server and then confirm.

cammykool · Aug 27, 2019, 10:18 PM

@george1421

thats the winserver config.

cammykool · Aug 27, 2019, 10:22 PM

@george1421 ip addr show is still showing 255.255.255 even after changing in network manager

user@fog:~$ ip addr show

george1421 · Aug 27, 2019, 4:25 PM

@cammykool Actually if you look after the IP address is /8 or 255.0.0.0. Then reboot the fog server since it may only load at boot time.

edit, maybe you could do sudo ifdown enp0s25 then sudo ifup enp0s25 to avoid the reboot time.
