PXE-E32: TFTP open time out on palo alto dhcp server

@Sebastian-Roth said in PXE-E32: TFTP open time out on palo alto dhcp server:
@fernando-martinez Service seems to be running. Maybe firewall?? On the FOG server run iptables -L -n -v and firewall-cmd --state - post output here.
Or possibly some other firewall in your network between clients and the FOG server. Though this would be quite unusual with both being in the same subnet.This is the output:
-
@fernando-martinez Is there a router/gateway between the clients and the FOG server?
If not I might suggest you turn off the PXE information on your Palo Alto DHCP server for now and try using dnsmasq on your FOG server. This is not a replacement of the whole DHCP server but just a so called DHCP Proxy which adds the PXE boot information. Technically it’s just sending another DHCP answer to the clients with no IP address information but only the PXE info. This works quite well in a lot of cases. See information in this here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12796/installing-dnsmasq-on-your-fog-server

Hi Sebastian
This sounds good, I tried it and the error is different now.
It seems it can’t find the pxe file.
The dnsmasq configuration shouldn’t give me problems with my dns server, really?Many thanks!
-
@fernando-martinez Please run
ls -al /tftpboot/on your FOG server and post output here. -
@fernando-martinez will you post the dnsmasq config file as you have it. DNSMASQ is getting to this line and then either not sending the right command or the file name is for what ever reason incorrectly formatted.
pxe-prompt="Booting FOG Client", 1Also if you go into the /var/log directory on the fog server and key in
grep -R -i tftp *that will show you the file and what the target computer is asking for via tftp. Just look in that list for the IP address of the target computer 192.168.96.61 -

FYI,
I have tried downloading “undionly.kpxe” whith this comand “tftp -i 192.168.96.204 get undionly.pxe” on my tftp windows client and it seems that I download it correctly.
Any idea? Thanks
-
@fernando-martinez Manual TFTP download on a Windows machine is a great test. Should have suggested that way earlier. Now we know TFTP is working.
Re-read the whole topic I noticed that we see
VMware, Inc.in one of the pictures. Can you tell us more about your setup? I guess you have VMware Workstation or ESXi server running and try to PXE boot from the FOG server. Can you please try some physical machine within your network as well? Just your normal Windows PC will do, reboot and select PXE boot as temporary first boot. This won’t cause any trouble on the PC. Just to see if this is booting to the menu. -
@Sebastian-Roth
We are trying on ESXI VM Machine, but we have the same problem whith a physical machine from my network.
We have another Fog Server on another networwk running correctly whith physicals and VM machines.
The only diference is the dhcp server, the first is Palo Alto and the other is Winows Server DHCP. -
@fernando-martinez There must be something we overlook here but I can seem to get it. You can manually download the file via Windows tftp command so it should work.
Would you please try to capture a network packet dump on your FOG server when this PXE issue happens so we see what is actually sent over the wire? https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9673/when-dhcp-pxe-booting-process-goes-bad-and-you-have-no-clue
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)

@Sebastian-Roth Collecting the pcap from a witness computer if the target is on a different vlan from the FOG server, or from the FOG server to get the best info if the target computer is on the same vlan as the FOG server.
@fernando-martinez if your target computer is on a different vlan than the fog server install wireshark on a witness computer and use the capture filter of
port 67 or port 68If the target computers is on the same subnet as the fog server then use the instructions in the tutorial.
Upload the pcap to a file share site (i.e. google drive, dropbox, etc) and share as public read. Either post the link here or DM either Sebastian or myself and we will look at the pcap and tell you what we see. Be sure to use the capture filter outlined so we do see things we shouldn’t in your packet capture.

@george1421 said in PXE-E32: TFTP open time out on palo alto dhcp server:
uter is on a different vlan than the fog server install
this is de output.pcap.
Fog Server: 192.168.96.204
Fog Client: 192.168.96.182The server and client are in the same Vlan.
Do you need more info?Thanks

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fn4b256v81ttvlg/output.pcap?dl=0
here is the pcap file.
-
@fernando-martinez I’ll be able to look at the pcap file in detail in a few minutes.
The first pass at it I see a problem. The client is asking for
undionly.kpxe.0which is an indication that you have a version of dnsmasq on your fog server that is older than version 2.75. Older versions than that always appended .0 for some legacy reason. You should upgrade to a newer version of dnsmaq, but you can trick it by creating a sym link between undionly.kpxe.0 and undionly.kpxe in the/tftpbootdirectory. You will need to do the same for ipxe.efi to ipxe.efi.0 -
@fernando-martinez said in PXE-E32: TFTP open time out on palo alto dhcp server:
tftp -i 192.168.96.204 get undionly.pxe
Dnsmasq version is 2.75, I tried to create a sym link but i have the same problem.
-
@fernando-martinez would you grab another pcap with these links in place?
What I find strange is that why is it appending the .0 to the file name and why does it appear to request the file and appear to download it. From your picture of the pcap (it appears you deleted the original pcap) the client asks for the file size of undionly.kpxe.0 and it appears to get the file size because it asks for the file next from 96.204. If that file did not exist it should have not attempted to download it but fail on the file size request.
Edit: Ah I had the version wrong it needs to be 2.76 or later ref: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12796/installing-dnsmasq-on-your-fog-server
That config file “should” work with 2.75 but we will see the .0 file name appended onto the file name like we see in the pcap.

From the picture we see you created the symlinks in the fogproject source directory. You need to create thos in

Hello guys! we did it!!
I created sym link in /tftpboot directory and i’ts worked!!
Now we have to configure.
Many thanks for your help!!!

Hi,
I have the same problem, can u help me?
-
@joanmarzo Are you using a PaloAlto dhcp server too?
What specifically do you have defined for dhcp options 66 and 67?
