Hi Jay,
It sounds like "You can configure the existing LTSP DHCP server to handout
IP addresses and a unique gateway to non-PXE clients." is the way I need to
go.
How do I do that (how do configure the dhcp server to handout IP addresses
and a unique gateway to non-pxe clients)?
Here is my current dhcp config file ...
#
# Default LTSP dhcpd.conf config file.
#
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.250;
option domain-name "example.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
# next-server 192.168.0.1;
# get-lease-hostnames true;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option root-path "/opt/ltsp/i386";
if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
filename "/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.0";
} else {
filename "/ltsp/i386/nbi.img";
}
}
One thing I am concerned about is whether activating the currently
de-activated on board nic card will cause all the configurations of the
LTSP server to become trashed. I deactivated the on board nic during
install when it appeared that it was defaulting to eth0 and I couldn't
quite figure out how to leave it while still configuring the two pcie
gigabit nic cards. Is there a way to activate it so that it is named eth2
from the start? Or, if not, will I only have to assign new names to it and
the other two nics in the etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent.net.rules file?
What I am afraid of is activating the onboard nic and Edubuntu creates a
bunch of automatic config files that I won't be able to correct.
Thanks too.
Robert
