[ipxe-devel] iPXE Question - Used with Auto Deploy

[Austen Simpson]

Would you be able to help me in finding out if iPXE is able to set a vlan id
so that when each host loads the boot loader I can ensure the host remains
on a specific vlan in order to make a https call to a deployment server?

 

I need to ensure that each stage of the build process the host remains on
the correct vlan to complete the build.

So far I have managed to identify three stages in which I will need to
stipulate a vlan.

1.       Pxe network boot to dhcp server will be handled in the bios (hp
blade system)

2.       Once directed to the tftp server where ipxe exists I don't know how
to ensure that the host remains on the vlan?????

3.       Here I will be using vmware auto deploy and there are rules that
can be stipulated here to ensure vlan compliance.

 

In hope

 

Austen
