    • RE: Network, AD integration, and overall setup help needed

      @george1421 I apologize for not getting back sooner. I restarted my server and made sure that DNSMASQ was actually running. This time when I attempted to PXE boot it actually completed! One little quirk that I noticed was that one of my machines took a really long time to obtain an IP…
      Now, I’m not sure if this is possible, but would it be difficult to make this work cross vlan? Or will it only work with clients within the infrastructure vlan?

      My current setup is this:
      Fog server is on infrastructure vlan(172.16.1.x)
      I need to use Fog on Staff vlan (172.16.10.x), and Student vlan (172.16.20.x)

      Here is a section from my setup file:

      # This range(s) is for the public interface, where dnsmasq functions
      # as a proxy DHCP server providing boot information but no IP leases.
      # Any ip in the subnet will do, so you may just put your server NIC ip here.
      # Since dnsmasq is not providing true DHCP services, you do not want it
      # handing out IP addresses.  Just put your servers IP address for the interface
      # that is connected to the network on which the FOG clients exist.
      # If this setting is incorrect, the dnsmasq may not start, rendering
      # your proxyDHCP ineffective.
      dhcp-range=172.16.1.31,proxy,255.255.0.0
      
      

      Thank you guys so much! You have no idea how much you have helped me!

      @george1421 OK, so I set up a test virtual fog server and installed DNSMASQ as per your instruction page/fog wiki. I was not able to find where I enter the IP of my fog server into my router(Zyxel USG 1900). However when I tested it on the same vlan as my fog server I got the message to press f8 to choose boot. When I selected “boot from network”, it looked like it was going to sucessfully finish booting to the FOG pxe menu, but instead it jumped past that and began to boot to Windows.

      Any ideas?

      (This is all my router allows me to configure for DHCP):0_1461087363874_upload-ca1854f1-54dd-46a6-96c3-761a64c82155

      @Wayne-Workman
      Thank you for your reply! This will work perfectly because 99% of my machines are not UEFI.

    • Network, AD integration, and overall setup help needed

      Hey all,

      So I am very new to this whole situation, mass deployments, Linux, and large scale networks, so please bear with me.

      In about a month I will need to be reimaging roughly 350 windows machines. I have chosen fog as my deployment method. The tricky thing about the network that I am on, is that the DHCP server isn’t hosted on either a Windows server or a Linux server. Instead, it is being handled by a Zyxel router. This router doesn’t(that I have seen)let you set a pxe boot server; it strictly does DHCP. So with that out of the way, does anybody know if there is a way for me to integrate a Fog server into this type of network?

      What methods do you all use?

      Anybody use NIC teaming/bonding?

      Also, what kind of hardware are you running your servers on?

      With my current build I can push out an image on a closed network, but I would like to be able to take advantage of the higher functions within fog such as AD integration, clearing of local users, and green fog.

      If anybody can give me a hand with this, I would greatly appreciate it!
      (Any advice for changes are welcome as well!!!)
