Two issues I'm having

[BrendoJohnso]

@george1421 I managed to get the settings and everything changed for the DHCP server but when i Pxe boot now it says that TFTP has “open timeout” and still does not get to Fog

[Tom Elliott]

@BrendoJohnso Have you checked firewalls on the FOG Server?

[george1421]

@BrendoJohnso There are 2 things you need to do to the FOG host server when FOG is installed.

1. Disable the firewall (iptables)
2. Change selinux config to permissive.

beyond that.
On the fog server linux console, if you key in the following command sudo netstat -an|grep 69 that should give you an output that looks like this:

# sudo netstat -an|grep 69
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:69              0.0.0.0:*

That tells us the tftp server is running (what the client needs to pick up the undionly.kpxe file)

If you are unsure if the firewall is disabled, post the output of this command sudo iptables -L

If your output looks like this then your firewall is off

# sudo iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

@george1421 The firewall one looks the same so its off
However the tftp one says this

[Tom Elliott]

@BrendoJohnso What’s output with:

sudo systemctl status tftpd-hpa

[BrendoJohnso]

@Tom-Elliott its saying that’s an unknown command

[Tom Elliott]

@BrendoJohnso Maybe:

service tftpd-hpa status

[BrendoJohnso]

@Tom-Elliott tftpd-hpa start/running

[Tom Elliott]

@BrendoJohnso So looking at the picture of the netstat -an | grep 69 command, I don’t see anything showing “network” outgoing stuff.

Maybe:

ifconfig

Might help us out?

[BrendoJohnso]

@Tom-Elliott

[Tom Elliott]

@BrendoJohnso can you edit the /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

Change the line that reads as “:69”

Make it read as: “0.0.0.0:69”

Then restart the tftpd-hpa service with:
sudo service tftpd-hpa restart

[BrendoJohnso]

@Tom-Elliott i restarted the service and now its booting correctly and im creating our first test image thank you very much saved my life

[Tom Elliott]

I think that’s a bit “extreme”. I would certainly hope FOG is not a “life or death” situation.

(At least I would hope people aren’t threatening other’s lives over it).

Glad we could help though.
