One thought... I set up a similar environment but had the Linux box equipped with 2 NIC cards. One on the corporate network and one on the private network. Then I ran DHCP and PXE on the seconds card enabling booting without conflict with corporate.

Subject: [Sisuite-users] System Imager and Microsoft DHCP Server

I have a lab environment where I have a Microsoft DHCP server that I use for my network environment.
I would like to use System Imager to provision my Linux systems in my lab. I have installed System Imager (3.02) on
a Redhat Linux 3.0 system and have created a Boot Server. I also have the PXE service activiated.

The System Imager Instructions explain how to configure PXE on a local box to interact with a local dhcp server.
That is run mkdhcpserver to create the proper /etc/dhcpd.conf file that is read by the local DHCP server.

How do I configure the DHCP server on my Windows box to intereact with the PXE server on my Linux box to allow my
Linux system to boot from PXE.

When I boot a target from PXE, I can see that it get an IP allocated from the DHCP server, however, it never receives instructions from the
PXE server on my Redhat 3.0 system. I assume the DHCP/PXE itneraction is not configured correctlry.

Any help on configurion these two would be extremely helpfull. Thanks.


Tom
