Hello
I tried to rename class but no success.I listen with wireshark and I discovered a problem with dhcp:

@lebrun78 said in UEFI pxe boot problem from a network:

You are right. If the posted config is the one in place we shouldn’t see router being set to 148.60.7.254 and mask to 255.255.248.0…
So something must be wrong with the config I suppose but I can’t find it. I’ve looked over it several times but just can’t see the obvious.
Is the config you posted really the whole one you have?
-
@Sebastian-Roth
Yes I only have one dhcp server.
I search to resolve the problem all last day, without success.
I change a different lease time for ech subnet.
Subnet 10 (Vlan10) clients receive Subnet 0 (vlan2) parameters. Why ?Would you know how to make dhcp los more verbose ?
-
More strange, ip parameters are correct when the os (ubuntu) is running !
-
@lebrun78 I haven’t tried this myself yet but just came across this: https://docs.menandmice.com/display/MM/using+the+log+function+for+debugging
You should be able to add specific logging statements to your config to see which one is used depending on VLANs as well as finding the difference between iPXE and Ubuntu booting on VLAN 10.

Hello
I take advantage that the university is deserted (covid19) to be able to do my dhcp tests, so I can easely insolate the boot log from a machine.
I have allways this problem on the vlan only with uefi pxe boot

@lebrun78 So let me see if I understand the issue.
On one vlan you can not pxe boot a uefi system, but on the same vlan you can pxe boot a bios based computer?
On a second vlan you can pxe boot both a uefi system and a bios based system no problem?
If that is the case I’d like to see a wireshark pcap of a uefi failed boot on the bad vlan. Use wireshark installed on a witness (extra) computer with a wireshark capture filter of
port 67 or port 68When you capture the power on and pxe boot of the target computer start wireshark, power on the computer and pxe boot to the error. Then stop wireshark and save the pcap. In the pcap you will see a dhcp discover from the target computer, then a dhcp offer from your main dhcp server. We need to look into that offer packet to see what the target computer is being told to boot. Upload the pcap here so we can look at it.

Hello,
On one vlan you can not pxe boot a uefi system, but on the same vlan you can pxe boot a bios based computer? Yes
On a second vlan you can pxe boot both a uefi system and a bios based system no problem? Yes, the vlan the fog server is on.
Here is the capture from the wittness host:

In
UEFI Reading the DHCP offer on boot, router ip et subnet mask are wrong. (ip router and subnet mask of the vlan of fog server).In legacy mode, (same PC, same vlan)
router ip et subnet mask are wrong too. (ip router and subnet mask of the vlan of fog server). But the boot is going on
capturedhcp.txt -
@lebrun78 would you upload the entire pcap. I need to see the raw data and not just the packet headers.
-
here is a uefi capture:
-
@lebrun78 Please look at the forum chat (chat bubble at the top of the forum window) for a few questions based on the pcap.

I think this is key to the mystery here!
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)

@Sebastian-Roth I agree, also in the pcap it has the bootp pxe boot information (in the header) but not the dhcp pxe boot options (66 & 67). Some target systems look at the ethernet header and others look at the dhcp options to boot.
I didn’t try to figure out the funky subnet mask (255.255.248.0) to make sure all of the subnets defined were in range. I figured everything was close enough it should work.

@george1421
Here is the capture from fog server, client in uefi mode
uefi.pcap -
@lebrun78 Well I’m not sure how to explain this situation but @Sebastian-Roth is spot on.
First the easy part, it appears there are 2 dhcp servers (or configurations) involved here. The reason why I say that is that they are giving different responses to the pxe boot request. If you look at the pcap on the working subnet it responds with dhcp option 12, the not working pcap does not include dhcp option 12. This is only important to show there are different settings for these two pcaps.
Now to the hard part to explain.
On the working subnet
Client IP: 148.60.3.152
Subnet Mask: 255.255.248.0
Gateway: 148.60.7.254
Subnet Range: 148.60.0.1-148.60.7.254On the not working subnet.
Client IP: 148.60.10.193
Subnet Mask: 255.255.248.0
Gateway: 148.60.7.254
Subnet Range: 148.60.8.1-148.60.15.254So now to identify the problem. If you look at the not working subnet you will see the gateway IP address is outside of the usable range of the client’s IP address. The gateway address is 148.60.7.254 but the subnet base address is 148.60.8.0. So its not possible for the client to reach the router to get outside of the subnet to connect to the FOG server at 148.60.4.1. At this time the problem is infrastructure related and not FOG.

@george1421
“At this time the problem is infrastructure related and not FOG.” I agree.
I don’t understand the boot dhcp response on vlan 10.
