How do I change the IP for the DHCP server I want my FOG server to use?
-
I’m currently using a sonicwall for DHCP on my FOG server, but I’ll bet setting up a DHCP on a windows server to replace it. How do I change the IP of the DHCP server FOG is pointed at?
I know I set it during the initial FOG installation, but I can’t find anywhere I can change it.

@Yeet There is nothing pointing to a DHCP server. Clients booting up sends a broadcast to the whole network and the DHCP server responds to that. So all you need to do is stop the DHCP service on your Sonicwall and get the Windows DHCP server up and running.
To serve PXE boot for both legacy BIOS and UEFI machines you want to read this: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Using_Windows_Server_2012_.28R1_and_later.29_DHCP_Policy

@sebastian-roth Fair enough. Out of curiosity, when I entered an IP for the DHCP server during FOG installation, what exactly did that do then?

@Yeet The FOG installer doesn’t ask for a DHCP server IP. Though it asks for router/gateway and DNS server IP to be used in the DHCP configuration (if you tell it to enable this service on the FOG server).
