Unable to get PXE menu?
-
That PXE-E32 error happened after i setup the IP-Helper (and before). I’m only a help desk tech, I very rarely deal with network switch configs so it might not be configured right. I set it for VLAN 1 and all switch ports are on VLAN 1. Is that okay? I will get a copy of the config in a few minutes…

@mikepel All looks to be right, but can you just run another (
sudo service tftpd-hpa stop; sleep 2; sudo service tftpd-hpa start) again? It appears dhcp is working now, but tftp literally is not working at this point. -
@Tom-Elliott Will Ubuntu go into sleep mode like Windows does? I haven’t touched it in about an hour and it looks like it may have shutdown? Could be why it wasn’t working after the iP helper command…I restart the Ubuntu server, started TFTP and DHCP and I booted the PC and I finally have the FOG menu! WOOHOO Tom, Thank you so much for the help today. Literally so happy to get to this point, now just need to learn how to capture and deploy images! So the things I changed today were the netmask (don’t think this mattered), added an IP helper address and disabled spanning tree. Is the IP helper/spanning tree documented in tutorials anywhere? I don’t think the one I followed mentioned any of that. Anyways, thanks so F’ing much for the help!

@mikepel I don’t know how you installed Ubuntu, but I’m going to guess you installed it with a GUI?
The link should give you some info on how to prevent complete standby. I don’t think display sleep is a problem, but if the system goes out, when it comes back the services are likely not able to see the network (which would cause them to fail).

@Tom-Elliott Okay, I’ll look into all this. Just happy to be able to get PXE to work! Again, thanks.
