@junkhacker - I would have to bring down one of our Cisco switches which I cannot do during business hours.

I guess I’ll have to scrap this FOG project and go back to using Acronis to apply my sysprepped images then. Thanks for the help.

If anyone has more suggestions I am willing to try them as I am looking for a better imaging method.

We had our own Dell switches replaced a month ago when we witched our phone system to a VOIP provider. The phones are PoE and our old switches were not so they sent us two Cisco PoE swtiches to replace ours with. Those switches route our network traffic as well as the phone but the vendor manages them so I do not know how they are setup nor do I have access to manage them. They may be VLAN’d but I cannot login to the switches to check.

I can’t tell as we don’t manage the switches here. They are managed by our VOIP provider.

Cisco SG300-52P

Thanks for the help!

Yes PXE is enabled in the NIC within the BIOS. It’s a Dell Optiplex 780

not much just a 48 port switch

result = transfer successful: 102037 bytes in 1 seconds, 102037 bytes

No option to disable ImageSever, but under “integrated NIC” in the BIOS it’s set to “Enable with PXE” and NOT “Enable with ImageServer” so it should be using PXE already

The screen I get stuck on says the following:

CLIENT IP: 192.168.75.166 MASK: 255.255.255.0 DHCP IP:192.168.75.22 (correct IP’s)
GATEWAY IP: 192.168.75.1
PXE-32: TFTP open timeout
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent

In the Dell BIOS under image server, I can specify the ImageServer IP. THe default value was 255.255.255.255
I tried changing that to the FOG server IP but didn’t work either so I changed it back to default.

Ok I had that originally but I changed it to pxelinux.0 after undionly.kpxe did not work. I’ll change it back, but that value does not fix my problem.

Yes they are set in my windows DHCP

To add to this my FOG server is a virtual machine hosted on a VMware ESXi box.

Just setup my first FOG server, no images uploaded yet but I wanted to take a workstation and PXE boot to the FOG server just to go through the menus and check it out but it won’t connect to server.

In the Dell workstation I enabled PXE boot in the NIC and on boot I pressed F12 then selected “on-board network controller”. Then it looks for an image server but doesn’t find one. I get the error “TFTP open timeout” then “Exiting Intel boot agent”. I’ve tried specifying the IP in the BIOS as well but that does not work

I can log into the FOG server management console so I know it’s running but not sure what I may have missed as this is my first attempt. Can anyone help out?

FOG version = 1.2.0
OS = Ubuntu 12.04 x64 bit
