Fog 1.1.2 - Capable of Ignoring a MAC address completely?
-
I have an HVAC Controller on the Network that PXE boots. Recently had a power flicker, Controller reboots, The Device hangs. Pull the Controller off the network and reboot; Everything works fine. Repeat on the network; Hangs.
Can I have fog ignore a mac address or will this have to be done using an ACL over the network?
-
do you mean that it needs to pxe boot, or that it defaults to pxe boot if it’s available and that is undesirable?
do you have any means of detecting at what point it hangs? -
The Controller needs the PXE boot enabled. It is undesirable to have the fog server communicate with it at all.
It is xp embedded but I don’t have a way to visually see the boot up.
-
if ipxe loading at all is the problem, then you’ll have to take care of it on the network before it ever gets to fog
if it’s the exit type of ipxe trying to boot to a hard drive, and the embeded system doesn’t understand, you could try changing the boot menu exit type
also, you could try the following edit to your default.ipxe fileiseq ${net0/mac} <HVAC MAC> && exit ||

Its an issue with your current network configuration. You might be able to filter that MAC address in DHCP from PXE booting. Also why does it need PXE boot enabled if its not PXE booting from fog? Do you have multiple PXE servers on that subnet?
-
I do not. The HVAC Technician uses PXE to boot to the device when making a trouble call.

I’m in process to see if I can disable but They have it bios locked.
