@george1421 @Junkhacker @Sebastian-Roth That has cracked it!! Thanks so much for your help!!

@Sebastian-Roth Sorted. Many thanks for your help!!

I know you can set it up at initial install as a DHCP server, but not sure how to go about it after it has been running for a while.

Hi everyone,

Having moved offices to a “hip” location, there is hardly any structured cabling (much to my annoyance) which means I can no longer have my Fog Server on the network like it was so I now need it to be standalone. Is there a way that I can have the Fog Server now be it’s own DHCP server and have it dish out IP addresses to all the machines I plug into the attached switch?

Thanks,

Andrew

@george1421 That has sorted it. Genius!!

Thanks so much

@george1421 I just copied what you put and made the change to the IP address details. The rest is verbatim.

@george1421 said in Adding normal wipe to PXE boot menu:

imgargs loglevel=4 initrd=init.xz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=275000 keymap= web=${fog-ip}/fog consoleblank=0 loglevel=4 capone=1 mode=wipe wipemode=fast mac=00:00:00:00:00:00
boot || goto MENU

All seems to be going well until we get the below

Re: Remote wipe

Does this work in the current version of FOG? I have looked at several threads on remote wiping machines, but none of them seem to be conclusive for the current version. Can I have an option on my PXE boot menu that allows me to select normal wipe, or do I need to use DBAN? The native wipe in Fog works fine and I have been using that, but currently my process is

1. PXE boot the machine and select Quick Registration and Inventory
2. Find that new machine in the hosts menu and assign the normal wipe task
3. Reboot machine for PXE to pick it up again and perform the task

Is there any way that I can just add normal wipe to the menu and if so how? Does the post I referenced at the beginning work on the1.5.5 version?

I have looked at:

but I not sure any of them cover what I am after.

Thanks

@george1421 and before I added that line into default.ipxe, there was nothing in there. Should I copy what you have in yours into mine?

@george1421 the file is definitely there.
