[Dnsmasq-discuss] proxyDHCP + EFI PXE?
Thanks Simon. I will send you the packet captures within the next 24 hours. I realize that this is currently a niche feature, but I would expect it to become more common in the near future as things move towards EFI. Looking through the mailing list, I found this post from last year indicating the same issue: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2014q1/008182.html There have been no changes to this code since 2.71, so upgrading won't save you. I have no idea if this has ever worked. I've certainly never tested it, and it wouldn't surprise me if no-one has made it work: it's pretty niche. I don't, AFAIK, have any suitable hardware to test this, but you may be in a perfect position to do what I'd do next, which is to compare the PXE packet that WDS sends, and which works, with the one the dnsmasq sends, and is ignored. On a good day, that will give us one, obvious, difference and an easy fix :-) Could you post complete packet captures suitable for loading into Wireshark, or send them directly to me if you prefer? Cheers, Simon. ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
[Dnsmasq-discuss] proxyDHCP + EFI PXE?
Has anybody been able to pxeboot an EFI system using Dnsmasq in proxyDHCP mode? Every machine I have tried fails to boot (mostly newer Dells with Intel cards). The relevant lines from from my config file are here: pxe-service=x86-64_EFI,Loading...,snponlydhcp-range=192.168.0.0,proxy,255.255.0.0 Watching the traffic with wireshark I can see the proxy response get sent containing my 'menu' encapsulated in option 43 with the correct boot file name. Still, the client never seems acknowledge the boot info, either by showing an error or attempting to boot. It just times out after ~60 seconds and boots to the next device. If I reboot using 'Legacy PXE', everything works perfectly (I have a line for x86PC as well). If I switch from proxy to full DHCP I can boot in EFI mode without issue. I am running Dnsmasq version 2.71 on Ubuntu if that matters. Am I doing something wrong, or does proxyDHCP not work with EFI systems yet? These same machines can boot to Windows Deployment Services in proxyDHCP mode, so I am sure EFI PXE is capable of booting this way. Thanks. ___ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
