@george1421 Just went through the UBNT thread, that appears to be working! One thing, in case others come across this, that tripped me up was in the command there are " written out. At first, I thought this was something to do with the character escaping on the forums but it is not, you literally need the command as follows:

set subnet-parameters "filename "ipxe.efi";"

You can also do this via the Config Tree in the GUI, just copy everything between the first and last double quotes and paste into the subnet-parameters section of the subnet.

@george1421 I appreciate your assistance here! I guess I will be going to Ubiquiti to see if I can find/file a bug report to fix that up.

[Edit] Not sure why, but I can’t seem to mark your post as the right answer… I’ve marked mine summerizing everything instead. Have an up-vote though

Follow up documentation from UBNT Help

Notes
In the example above the custom option string requires quotes to be injected directly into the dhcpd.conf. As literal quotes are not allowed in the cli command we replace our quotes with the special entity format for a quote " this will be translated back to a literal quote when building the dhcpd.conf

@george1421 here you go! 0_1528672127118_Gen2.pcap

Ubiquiti’s EdgeRouter is using a modified version of Vyatta (VyOS) which is based on Debian. I’m fine with installing DNSMASQ if need be. I was looking over the ProxyDHCP page and there seem to be about a handful of ways to configure it.

One thing that page confuses me on is it seems the “Install dnsmasq on CentOS 7” has details for UEFI support but then a snip at the bottom of that section states it doesn’t and I need to compile 2.76 for it? Maybe I’m confusing terms here.

@george1421 thanks for info! I’ll grab the PCAP tonight and get it uploaded as soon as possible. I should mention that I am not running Hyper-V on Windows 10. It is running on the free Hyper-V Server 2016 and I am using Windows 10 as a remote management client. I know the implementations of Hyper-V are similar but figured I would mention it anyways!

Additional information: I was installing another VM and I noticed a few frames during boot that I saw additional information. Looks like there is some weird character being appended to the filename?

Checking the configuration from the CLI of my EdgeRouter, doesn’t seem the character is being added there?

New to FOG so forgive my dumbness

I’ve setup a FOG 1.5.4 server following the wiki install instructions. It appears to be working so far. I’m only looking to support UEFI currently.

I have a generation 2 VM I’ve created specifically for capturing a base image of CentOS 7 to act as a template. I’ve disabled secure boot. The VM is throwing a “There was a TFTP error” message however. I’ve confirmed with a physical laptop in UEFI mode, secure boot off, that I can boot to FOG so I don’t believe there is a server issue? I am using an Ubiquti EdgeRouter 4 as DHCP and configured the boot entries for PXE correctly I believe.

I have a pretty flat network currently with just 10.0.10.x as my primary LAN network that my servers live on.

There is not an OS currently installed on the VM as I was simply trying to test that I could boot from FOG. I setup a second Gen1 VM with default settings and changed my router to support BIOS boot and that worked successfully.

I’ve attached images of my configuration and the errors and what I see during boot. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide to help figure this out.
