Best would be to hook the client to a hub and capture traffic from there.

Second best if you can capture TFTP-DHCP and FOG-server at the same time. I should be able to “synchronize” those two dump files by looking at the broadcast packets.

And as a quick try you might just capture on the TFTP-DHCP server. Hopefully I am able to make the missing packets up myself.

Useful tcpdump options:

-i eth0 capture interface, change to suit your needs -w outfile.pcap write packets to PCAP file (you won’t see the packets while capturing!) As last parameter you can add capture filters but this is quite tricky when it comes to PXE boot and DHCP (several different protocols and ports). You can simply use udp as a filter or not port 22 to keep your SSH session out of the way. Sometimes host x.x.x.x is also great but not in this case here.

@Jbob Hello
In first sorry for this long delay
I just made the test today with the latest client. Everything seems to work fine !!

@Tom-Elliott In first sorry if I seemed to insist heavily.
As i said before your works is great and the help on the forum also.
I will install fog as you explained me with “./installfog.sh -D /var/www -W fog/ -y” parameters.

Sorry again and thanks again for your precious help 😉

@ch3i i follow the instructions here : https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk ???
Then there is no more error message about FOG Multicast Management Server.

I’ve got always these :
Estimated FOG sites: Error contacting server
Latest Version: Error contacting server

Could you explain me what is the utility of “FOG prep”

During pxe boot of a client, the console is in qwerty, is there a way to pass it on azerty ?
You told me to create PXE files with azerty layout, but how you do that ?

Thanks a lot for your help
