This is why we have a small pool fully dynamic IP addresses for our
build system that doesn't require any MAC registration. The subnet is
only able to talk to the PXE

At my site, we don't kickstart on the production network, in order to
avoid the case where a not-fully-secured machine is exposed to network
attacks. My kickstart network is all in one room, and so is easier to
secure, logically and physically. On such a network, automatic

Are you suggesting separate physical subnet, or simply a logical subnet on
the same physical network (using netmask)?

Mine's physically separate. I think it's what is required (google UNIX

I'm about to start playing with Kickstart. I never really had to provision
bare servers beyond a normal OS install, so I need something to use along
with Puppet. Is there a general consensus on what the best option is?
I'd need to set up the node with IP/hostname/role. (I have a custom fact for

Why not use DHCP? This is what it's for.
The general standard that I've seen is DHCP + KS + modification

We have a small pool of DHCP IP addresses for use only in the build
process. This is our process:
1. We boot the servers from PXE network boot
2. They get one of the temporary IPs
3. They start a CentOS network install using a kickstart file with the
bare minimum of packages selected,
Foreman could come in handy.

Never forget the DHCP does NOT necessarily mean dynamic addresses. Depending
upon your corporate culture, it may be perfectly acceptable for DHCP to hand
out statically assigned addresses to your hosts. This would allow your build
process to be easy, and you can have the host never DHCP again
I thought about DHCP for static addresses. I'd need the MAC for each machine
though. For now, I'm worrying about plugging some media or doing network
boot on machines by hand. I suppose I'll need to do something on the host to
indicate what the machine role will be. In any case, I could simply use
Oh, great timing!
I'm working on pretty much the same question. I have used FAI and
Opsware, and homebrewed scripts to do provisioning in the past. I have
never been all that happy with any of them, and am taking another look
at the problem to try to get to as simple and portable a solution
