@george1421 A coworker was able to resolve the problem coming in with a fresh mind. Apologize for the wasted thread

Hi, currently I am running FOG (default settings with DHCP set up) in a standalone lab network. If I plug FOG directly (NIC to NIC) into a laptop I have successfully been able to capture and deploy images between laptops one at a time. My problem comes when connecting to the switch.

The switch isn’t configured in any way, but my limited knowledge of switching I assumed this would work. When we plug the FOG server and all 12 of our laptops into the switch, the laptops will not PXE boot. I guess it’s not getting the DHCP. I can ping the FOG server from the laptops so I know traffic is moving, but as I said I cannot PXE boot when connected to the switch.

Is there something I’m missing here? I’m not the best with networking, but why won’t the laptops see DHCP for the PXE boot?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you
