@george1421 Thank you, I was able to get the server working on the isolated network. I’m gonna try both unicast and multicast to a couple of machines first but I doubt that it’d be any different since it’s on a simple network right now.

Would you able to suggest what approach is good to deploy the images on multiple computers over the business network? They will be in the same VLAN but probably may have different subnet masks (I dont know if that matters).

Also how can I accomplish deploying the imaging task to multiple machines, and have them reboot to get into network boot for the scheduled task? I was wondering if there’s an automated way to do this without having to manually reboot every machine.

@george1421 You’re right, when it prompted me if I want to use DHCP service in Fog, I selected Yes. As per your suggestion, I can now edit the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file to create the configuration files right? I thought the configuration would be done on the Fog server’s web client itself but thanks for clarifying - although still unsure how that’s happening. My approach is to try and deploy the images to a couple of computers using an unmanaged switch through my fog server that has a private ip address (with no internet).

My next step was to move it to the business network after successfully testing it on a segregated network. If I’m understanding correctly, dnsmasq would only supply pxe boot information, leaving the ip assignments to the main dhcp? I’ve only heard that having two dhcp servers on a network would be conflicting. But I guess since dnsmasq would only be used for that specific task, it should be alright?

I’m fairly new to linux and networking so the question is not really for an issue but more like trying to understand how DHCP works in general. I installed DHCP service in the Fog Server since I want to test it out on a private network (to prevent having two DHCPs in the main network). I guess my question is how I could configure the DHCP in the FOG because I could not find anything related to it in the web client. I assume I’d have to configure it to set the PXE boot, but I’m not sure how and the next steps to take? I couldn’t find any documentation for this either which is why I’m here.

Let me know if you need more details. Thanks!
