Hi, Jan, By changing the ISO image, AI is working properly for systems in the same subnet. A system can not be installed on a different subnet.
bash-3.2# snoop -V 10.6.239.87 Using device nge0 (promiscuous mode) ________________________________ mpk14-2404-239-87.SFBay.Sun.COM -> 224.0.0.251 ETHER Type=0800 (IP), size=95 bytes mpk14-2404-239-87.SFBay.Sun.COM -> 224.0.0.251 IP D=224.0.0.251 S=10.6.239.87 LEN=81, ID=18465, TOS=0x0, TTL=255 mpk14-2404-239-87.SFBay.Sun.COM -> 224.0.0.251 UDP D=5353 S=5353 LEN=61 mpk14-2404-239-87.SFBay.Sun.COM -> 224.0.0.251 MDNS C osol_ai._OSInstall._tcp.local. Internet Unknown (33) ? ________________________________ After checking with IT, it turns out broadcast and multicast are blocked between subnet networks by default. Thus, AI will fail on a client system which is located in different subnet segment without multicast for mDNS. Is there any solution to workaround this issue by AI?
