    Next setting the IP’s, I’m confused as to what range I have to enter. Cause I have two sets of ranges. The Cisco switch is pushing out a 10.130.8.1 while I’m getting a 169.254.5.132 from the controller on the laptop.

    Hey, welcome to the FOG community. Those 169.254.x.x are local-link addresses (see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address). Clients choose those addresses when they are not able to get a proper one from the DHCP server.

    Ok soo shortly after posting this I changed the Ethernet settings to Local Link and it worked.

    Where exactly did you change this setting? Maybe provide a photo of the settings screen so we know what you are talking about.

    The main question is: Who (which devices) is actually playing the DHCP role aka who is handing out IP addresses to the clients?? With the FOG installer you can choose to have it setup a DHCP server on the FOG server or not. What do you mean by “The Cisco switch is pushing out a 10.130.8.1”??

    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)

      Sorry for the long wait, was out for the weekend. At this time I cannot provide a screenshot of the settings. I will try to take photos with my phone. I was able to make the change in editing the connections for the Ethernet port. When selecting the type of IPv4 connection I saw “Local Link” in the selection among Automatic, Manual, Local Link, etc.

      The Cisco switch I’m working with has been configured to allow port 1 to hand out IP’s. As for the 10.130.8.1 IP that is from a mistake I made when figuring out which port to connect to on the switch.

      The role of DHCP has not been configured on the FOG Server as I’ve been having issues with it. So I have did not install it when installing the FOG Server.

      The issue I’m having now is that the image I’m trying to push down to the clients is not being pushed. The clients see the PXE Server and await for a command from the server. I have tired to use the built in programs of the FOG Server but they do not seem to work. I’ve tired uploading the DBAN.iso(16MB) to the server but the limit of 8MB is stopping me from doing so.

        If you want to get the old naming scheme (eth0, eth1, etc) do the following in terminal

        sudo apt-get remove biosdevname
        
        sudo update-initramfs -u
        

        You will need to reboot after.

        As for installation guides

        https://forums.fogproject.org/uploads/files/1443813159297-imaging-server.pdf

        is generally considered one of the best ones even if some things may not apply to your specific situation, it should help you get started at least.

        I highly recommend getting a static IP at any rate.

          For test propuses and to fix this issue, I’m going to use a basic netgear switch. A Host PC and a Client PC, this way I can follow the instructions to the letter and have the Host running. As far as loading an image to push down to the clients how would I go about doing that?

            I used this guide and used Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS. Problem is when I did the sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces command to edit the IP schema I get a blank page with nothing on it. Most of the parts I have to configure are not showing up when I try to edit them. So starting off it is starting bad. I will re-install the server again and try again with that one on a different machine.

              @Wallae Can you do

              sudo ls /etc/network
              

              And tell us if there are any files there? There should always be an interfaces file there, but it may have been pushed to interfaces.bak in which case do…

              sudo mv /etc/network/interfaces.bak /etc/network/interfaces

                When I do it on the machine with the server I see

                if-down.d  if_post-down.d  if-pre-up.d   interfaces   interfaces.d  run

                  E325: Attention
                  Found a swap file by the name “/etc/network/.interfaces.swp”

                  its asking me to either delete it or recover it.

                    I believe you have the EFI version of Ubuntu installed. I only really have experience with the regular (old style) one, since I experienced too many issues with it when I tried it out.

                    As far as I know, they changed the way they manage interfaces slightly, so I’m guessing there will be a file under /etc/network/interfaces.d that you need to edit instead.

                      What are you using to upload? Where is there an 8MB limit?
