add Ventoy to boot menu

[youzersef]

@george1421 i changed to ExternalNet. but nothing has been changed. I found something in the community of ventoy which could help me.

maybe you can tell me what the post means. because am not good enough in pxe.

someone posted:

I managed to chainload from my main iPXE to iVentoy, basically you need to do following things:
1. In your main iPXE boot.ipxe file, set user-class to a specific value, such as MyCustomClass
2. In your dhcp server, match this user-class and send next-server as your iVentoy IP
3. In your main iPXE boot.ipxe, run 'dhcp' command, after 'set user-class MyCustomClass' command, then 'chain tftp://${next-server}/iventoy_loader_16000'
Done

fog > ipxe menu > add option:

set net0/next-server 192.168.1.254
chain --replace --autofree ipxe.x64.snponly.efi.0

on ubuntu fog server: edit file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

class "UEFI-64-1" {
    match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00007";
    if exists user-class and option user-class = "iVentoy"{
    filename "iventoy_loader_16000_uefi";
    next-server 192.168.152.254;
} else {
    filename "ipxe.efi";
}
}

If this info would help the next guy, I would say yes. That way we can all learn from someone that has already walked the bloody path to victory. That’s what makes opensource and a community lead project work.

@youzersef
Did you got the booting ISO working normally?, seem the graphic is bugged with some modern mainboard

[youzersef]

@baovipboy156 i tested on vm and i did not get problems. I will test it on dell Laptops next week.

@george1421

do you have any idea how can i add the same rule on DHCP windows server?

class "UEFI-64-1" {
    match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00007";
    if exists user-class and option user-class = "iVentoy"{
    filename "iventoy_loader_16000_uefi";
    next-server 10.132.7.113;
} else {
    filename "ipxe.efi";
}
}

@youzersef I don’t have an immediate answer for you, but I can point you in a direction. The FOG Project has a wiki page on how to setup policies in windows dhcp server. The first section of your code is outlined in the policy. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence

You might be able to do the user class part too, but I don’t know. Windows dhcp server policies are very similar to what you can do in linux.
