PXE client not seeing new Fogserver

@geekyjm said in PXE client not seeing new Fogserver:
How do I tell if the PXE server is running on the Fog server?
If you want to get literal, there is no such thing as a PXE server. PXE is a protocol not a thing.
DHCP tells the client where to look for the boot file. Then the client downloads what its told from a tftp server. That is the pxe process in 20 words or less.
The pcap is important to ensure the client computer is being told to load the right file from the proper computer. If you look in the OFFER packet (that comes from the dhcp server). In the header there will be a {next-server} field. That should be the IP address of the fog server. There should also be a {boot-file} field, that should be ipxe.efi or a uefi system and undionly.kpxe for bios system. That should match dhcp options 66 and 67 respectivly.
