<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal">Hi ipxe team,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Need you guidance on making use of the feature - using
alternate dhcp that runs on ports 1067 and 1068.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scenario:-</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have an existing lab with DHCP which is maintained by IT
and I have no control over it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a set of machines running in this network which I
have to install Operating system. Hence I decide to use Clonezilla DRBL for
this task using PXE boot.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since I already have an existing DHCP I wasn’t able to run
DRBL on the same network since DRBL has it own DHCP running.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hence I went ahead and made changes to DRBL–DHCP to run on
alternate ports 1067 and 1068. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Clients which ask for IP under these ports will be assigned by
DRBL-DHCP and rest will be assigned by LAB-DHCP.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To make use of the DRBL-DHCP I used Etherboot at first and
it was working fine.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But the bottleneck is Etherboot don’t have support for all NIC's and you need to make different boot disk for different nics.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hence I choose ipxe which has support for all nics but I couldn’t
find where to set or the command to use alternate DHCP that runs on ports 1067
and 1068.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could you please shed some light on this area which is most
appreciated.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
