Title: [SOLVED] Zentyal4.1: DHCP: TFTP/pxelinux.0 ?
Post by: ATT1 on December 28, 2015, 01:21:28 pm

Hello,

I have now Zentyal 4.1 including latest updates; I just wonder if it is possible to migrate our DHCP-Server to Zentyal?
At the moment, we have a different machine serving a single pxelinux.0 TFTP-image for all the clients:

nobody    3078  0.0  0.0  15320  1092 ?        S     2014   6:32 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --bind-interfaces --interface eth0 --except-interface lo --enable-tftp --tftp-root=/etc/pxeboot --dhcp-boot=/etc/pxeboot/pxelinux.0 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.2,192.168.0.173,168h --log-dhcp

This single command line above handles all quite well.
How to migrate this DHCP/TFTP-functionality away from this "extra-server" to Zentyal?  I cannot find any option in Zentyal 4.1 that allows me to select a TFTP-file to send, when the BIOS of a client needs one?

I figured it myself  - I have to have a single file called "pxelinux.0" in the /var/lib/tftpboot directory.
In the DHCP->konfiguration->extended configuration options, I set "next server" to "host: my-zentyal-ip-adress" and I set filepath to just "pxelinux.0" (NOT to /var/lib/tftpboot etc.etc.)
