I have done this before on a Cisco switch but it’s been a while. Thought I share my notes on what commands are needed

# Vlan131 (fog server vlan)
ip helper-address 192.168.158.255

# Vlan158 (fog client on a different vlan)
ip directed-broadcast 101

# ip access-list extended 101
access-list 101 permit udp host 192.168.131.149 any eq 9
* NOTE in the ACL above 192.168.131.149 is the fog server ip address

# forward udp
ip forward protocol udp 9 (it might say discard)



# On the switch the two vlans look something like this

interface Vlan131
 description fog server vlan
 ip address 192.168.131.1 255.255.255.0
 ip helper-address 192.168.131.3 (my dhcp & dns server)
 ip helper-address 192.168.158.255 (fog client subnet broadcast address)
end

interface Vlan158
 description fog client vlan
 ip address 192.168.158.1 255.255.255.0
 ip directed-broadcast 101 (extended ACL)
end

Hope it helps

Thanks aaoyagi, when I realised nfs mount was needed it was easy.
Do you happen to have a working menu for parted magic? I’ve tried both ways with the iso mounted and exported and just path to the iso
Throws an error both times.

UPDATE: looked over it one more time and tried what Tom suggested- removed raw and iso
chain memdisk ||

Working fine, thank you kindly

@george1421

Sorry for the late reply,1) and 2) are both correct recompiled ipxe.efi works fine

@Sebastian-Roth
Lets say I deploy an image to host1 and join it to the domain. I want to image host2 next, so I thought maybe delete or just rename the host1 to host2 and start the deployment?

Looks like that worked, so I am just renaming the host since I’m using the same mac address

@sebastian-roth said in FOG server with dhcp client registration:

@Pikmin I don’t like guessing much so we should just take a look at the facts - the packets on the network that is. So get your client ready but don’t start it yet. Go to your FOG server and install tcpdump (sudo apt-get install tcpdump or sudo yum install tcpdump). Then run the following command and substitute x.x.x.x with the client’s IP address: tcpdump -w /tmp/boot_issue.pcap host x.x.x.x

Leave that command sitting there, boot up the client till it shows the error “Either DHCP failed or …”. Now stop tcpdump (Ctrl+c). Upload the generated file /tmp/boot_issue.pcap to your dropbox/google drive and post a link here or send me a private message if you don’t want to share this with the rest of the world.

I just went through the process of doing this when I discovered that after issuing spanning-tree portfast on all the interfaces it appears to be working now, so that’s the solution like in the other thread.
Thanks again for all your help george1421 and Sebastian Roth, I won’t forget the porfast setting ever again
