So i've read the posts some users put about running tftp and pxe
either on seperate servers or in enviorments running RIS. I would
like to get this to work with our own PXE linux menu file that we use
to that boot WDS and several other products. My enviorment is large
and multiple subnets and sites so using OTC's DHCP Proxy service will
not work.
So with DHCP Proxy package uninstalled and pointing option 66 to the
OTC server and specifing pxelinux.0 with option 67 the clients will
boot fine if authorized in the console. If not, you see it run
through all of the PXElinux config files that apprently OTC generates
down to default and then gives "could not find kernal linux". The
client does not show up in PXE clients like they did when using DHCP
Proxy. I would like to serve multiple subnets with a single OTC
server (no dhcp proxy) and still have the ability to use my custom
PXE linux menu.
One possilbe solution to my problem would be to set my pxelinux menu
file as default(to fall back on) as part of whereever OTC puts it's
PXE linux mac based config files
So the questions I have is:
Does OTC fully support using DHCP scope options 66 and 67 to boot
clients?
Can I set my own PXE linux default file to fall back to if the client
is not authorized in the OTC console? I don't see a pxelinux.cfg
folder in the openthinclient install folder. Creating my own folder
in the root/tftp folder does not work. Where are these created and
placed?
The other solution for me would be to speficy a secondary fall back
TFTP server for clients that are not authorized. You can set an
alternate tftp server for authorized clients, but setting for non
authorized clients would be money.
Thanks in Advance
