FOG Boot via HTTP without DHCP
-
Hello,
i am using a Fog Server (1.5.10.1719, Ubuntu VM) since 2 years, everything works fine. I am admin of a small german university part.
We are a part of a firm IT-Policy, in our debt we do not have any access to the dhcp server settings.
Because of that, we use a boot via USB on every computer. It is just a ipxe boot were we have to give the IP Adress of the tftp server and then the FOG ist booting. (/EFI/BOOT/Bootx64.efi)Now we got new computer were we have the possibility to boot via HTTP. My thougt was, i can put the bootx64.efi file onto my fog server (/var/www/fog/bootx64.efi), set the URL in the BIOS and we can boot without the USB. But i does not work, i do not understand the failure because it is the same file.
Maybe i got a understanding problem why does it not work. The best way would be if i could give the IP Adress also in die bootx64.efi that it would be booting without any typing.
Maybe you have some ideas to help me with this.
Thank you.
Sven

Unfortunately, HTTP boot still requires a dhcp server.

Hi,we got a dhcp server. The computer got network, the path to the efi file is connected.
I have no access to the dhcp settings that i could set the next-server or anything else.
But i think the efi file maybe is corrupt? i have tried to edit the efi file, but then the boot stick does not work anymore.
