Isolated Network Setup (Stuck in Start PXE over IPv4)

[Tom Elliott]

@Enigma Are you sure it’s booting PXE and not UEFI?

In case it is UEFI, please disable secure boot on the machine.

@Tom-Elliott
Hello, Yes you are right it was not but now it is but now stuck here.

[Tom Elliott]

@Enigma Can you edit your /etc/dhcpd.conf file and change the instances of undionly.kpxe to undionly.kkpxe, if that still doesn’t work, attempt ipxe.pxe?

Once you change the file, you’ll need to restart dhcpd service with:
systemctl restart dhcpd

[Enigma]

@Tom-Elliott Ok, but the dhcpd.conf file is empty, where should add those details?

[george1421]

@Enigma ok so how did you add dhcp services to your fog server (a blank dhcp config file would do exactly what you are seeing. ISCDHCP listening but not responding to any requests)? Did you add dhcp services when you installed FOG? Did you add the isc-dhcp server after fog was installed from your repo?

So you’ll probably ask what goes in that file? Look at this example: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Example_1 The dhcp pool will probably need to be updated to match the subnet of your dedicated imaging network.

@george1421 Hello thank you, For the fog setup I let dhcp service to be handled by fog. not sure why the dhcp config is empty.

Can add these details to the from the 2 screenshots to the dhcp config file?

[george1421]

@Enigma I would start with example #1 from that url. You will need to update the subnet, netmask range values so its appropriate for your isolated network. Anywhere you see the default 192.168.1.x you need to update so its appropriate for your imaging network.

[Enigma]

@george1421 Ok thank you I updated the dhcp config from example 1 and now i’m seeing different results. Can i share a traffic cap?

[george1421]

@Enigma yes same method as before.

/etc/dhcpd.conf

I might be wrong here but from the top of my head I wouldn’t think that’s the right config file. Guess it is /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf though.

@george1421 Hello I’ve DM the traffic cap

[Tom Elliott]

@Sebastian-Roth Probably, yeah, sorry

Hello I’ve DM the traffic cap

Ok that is looking much better I now see the DORA process (Discover, Offer, Request, Ack). BUT there is something missing. When I look at the ethernet header I see the next server being 192.168.107.2 (hopefully is your fog server). The boot file is undionly.kpxe (this is good), but what is missing is the dhcp options 66 and 67. So that is telling me you are missing something in the config file. You are so close to having this work.

Could you post your complete dhcpd.conf config file?

Hello do i have the correct DHCP conf settings?

[Enigma]

@george1421 Hello any ideas?
