how to change netmask and ip range?

alt text

hey guys, where can i change client IP range, say from 204.10.x.10 - 204.10.x.254 — to — 204.10.x.50 - 204.10.x.254?
also, where can i change netmask from 255.255.255.0 — to — 255.255.255.224?
please see the photo.
i use ubuntu 14.04 and edit the etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf but it keep changing back to 255.255.255.0 from 255.255.255.224 everytime i reinstall. thanks in advance.

Edit /opt/fog/.fogsettings and set blddhcp to 0 so it doesn’t generate a DHCP file and your changes remain.

Btw 255.255.255.254 would make it so only one ip is on the entire subnet, just so you know.

Thank you Quazz for your answered. The problem is still there after I edit /opt/fog/.fogsettings and set blddhcp to 0. Everytime I reinstall it changed Client IP back to: 204.10.x.10 and netmask 255.255.255.0
My fog server is 204.10.x.68 and only able to use IP 204.10.x.66 to 204.10.x.192, I can’t use 204.10.x.10 as it was assigned to other switch. I hope someone could help.

@onenetwork You might have to set dodhcp to N as well.

Or you could alter the submask= value to try and let FOG handle it.

Still not work after edited dodhcp to “N”. What do you mean alter the submask= value, where and how?
Thanks

@onenetwork FOG should no longer overwrite your dhcp config with those settings to off. Is that not the case for you?

The submask value is located in the .fogsettings file, (along with other info such as routers and what not) which FOG will use to build the DHCP config (if you’re allowing it to control DHCP)

Sorry to say I can’t find anything related to submask or IP range locate in the .fogsettings files. I try to change routeraddress to 255.255.255.224 or 204.10.x.65(gateway) and it not working.
By the way I’m using fog server 1.2.0

On older trunk and perhaps 1.2.0, the installer ignored bldhcp if dodhcp was turned on. This isn’t a problem in the current I believe but it’s been a while since I messed with the dhcp functionality.

@onenetwork On your server, what is the output of ip addr show ?

so there is no way to fix client IP and netmask at all?
is there a file some where i can edit before update so it can bypass this? thanks all, i really need this to work.

Wayne Workman

@onenetwork there is, and it’s easy. I’m not at a computer at the moment - but when I am, I can easily construct a dhcpd.conf file that is exactly what you need - along with changes so fog 1.2.0 no longer overwrites the file. I’ll get it together sometime tonight for you.

Edit your /opt/fog/.fogsettings file to set the dodhcp and bldhcp like below. Be sure to save.

vi /opt/fog/.fogsettings
Instructions on using Vi

dodhcp='N'
bldhcp='0'

Then, edit the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file to contain the below. Notice that option domain-name-servers is commented out with a # because I don’t know your preferred DNS address. If you want to set that, remove the comment and replace the x.x.x.x with the ip address - comma separated for multiple DNS addresses if you want multiple ones.

I’ve assumed from one of your below posts:

I try to change routeraddress to 255.255.255.224 or 204.10.x.65(gateway)

That the proper router address for this subnet is 204.10.185.65, so I’ve excluded this address from the DHCP range, and have defined it as a router option.

vi /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

option space PXE;
option PXE.mtftp-ip    code 1 = ip-address;
option PXE.mtftp-cport code 2 = unsigned integer 16;
option PXE.mtftp-sport code 3 = unsigned integer 16;
option PXE.mtftp-tmout code 4 = unsigned integer 8;
option PXE.mtftp-delay code 5 = unsigned integer 8;
option arch code 93 = unsigned integer 16; # RFC4578

You can copy/paste this into the vi editor as long as you’re in insert mode (see tutorial above). Pasting from windows clipboard into putty is just a right click anywhere in the window - if you’re using putty (which I would highly recommend).

After writing the file and closing it, you will need to restart dhcp. On Ubuntu that would be:
service dhcpd restart
or
service dhcpd stop
service dhcpd start

And to enable dhcpd to start on boot:
service dhcpd enable

Check the status of the dhcpd daemon on Ubuntu like this:
service dhcpd status

And - let me know if it works. If not, give me the output of service dhcpd status

Thank you Wayne Workman, it’s working now. also, thank you Quazz.
After copy instruction provided by Wayne Workman, changed boot to Grub style and command out /var/www/fog/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php line 696 booturl/ipxe/bg.png it is now working perfect. This is awesome!

I wasn’t aware you were having problems with the background image?

Instead of commenting out code, we can help you get it working. It is a separate issue, so I would ask you to make a new thread with details on the fog version, os version, model you’re booting, any relevant network layout information, boot file, efi mode, and any other information that may be relevant.

onenetwork

Yes, background image is different issue I have learned from previous problem. Again, thank you for your helping with this netmask and IP range problem. Without your help I probably go crazy, LOL.
