TFTP Open Timeout
-
pxe from different subnet is ok - one way to quickly confirm is do a ps -A |grep tftp to see if its running if it is running but no process id then certainly try the sleep - let me know in the morning… will be evening for me
-
I just remoted in and ran “ps -A | grep tftp” and I get back nothing. I guess I’ll try the “sleep 30” tomorrow.
I’ll keep you posted!
-
Well, unfortunately the sleep 30 did not make a difference. Instead of waiting until morning, I remoted into my work PC, which remoted into an old imaging server, which remoted into a computer on a different subnet that had VMware Workstation on it.
Even with the sleep 30, Fog is still not working for other subnets outside of its own.
-
just check to see if the process is running again on the linux box “ps -A |grep tftp” if still not running check the logs /var/log on ubuntu
:$ ps -A |grep tftp
1184 ? 00:00:00 in.tftpd -
The service is still not running. ps -A|grep tftp comes back with nothing.
I tried to find a log in /var/log that looked like tftp but I could not find one.
-
nothing in syslog … can you post the syslog ?

Syslog says this:

so it is proceesing the requests ok - try adding a simple task like mem test or inventory - should all work ok but to get it to boot local have a look at this [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Boot_looping_and_Chainloading[/url] - can you post the default file /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default

just try updating PXELINUX as described [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Boot_looping_and_Chainloading[/url]
-
I did. It had no effect.
-
On the subnet where I have my Fog server setup, it PXE boots just fine. On any other subnet, it will not get a DHCP address which leads it to be unable to PXE boot.
-
so if that subnet isn’t getting dhcp - is there a scope set on the windows box for that subnet with a pool set - is the pool exhausted ? check to see if the pool isn’t exhausted …
-
i was under the impression it was getting an ip address ??? you syslog post [B]“sent /tftpboot/fog/bg.png to 10.120.100.41” [/B]
right ?[B][/B]
-
also check to make sure you are able to route to your fog server …
-
firewall rules ???
-
The pool is definitely not exhausted. If it boots to Windows, it gets its DHCP address.
Yes (to your second post).
In my internal network, there is no firewall whatsoever.
-
tftp on fog ok - running confirmed
dhcp - giving addresses options 66&67 set ok
routing ok
firewall rules (any,any) nothing should be blocked …ok
try from the windows box (10.120.100.x subnet right?) command prompt tftp [I]foghost[/I] get pxelinux.0 ? -
sorry still won’t fix it anyways
the workstation in the pxe process isn’t being allocated an ip address but an up and running os can ?- can you post a screen shot? -
On a Windows box in the 10.110.100.x subnet, the OS pulls this from my DHCP server:
DHCP Enabled: Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled: Yes
IPv4 Address: 10.110.100.92
Subnet Mask: 255.255.254.0
Default Gateway: 10.110.100.254
DHCP Server: 10.200.200.3However, if I PXE boot, it never gets DHCP so it doesn’t continue into PXE.
I use to use Alitirs and it worked just fine. We had its PXE server set to “Use the DHCP port.”
