I recently set up Cobbler passthru authentication using Apache basic
authentication with NIS. I modified the Apache config to look like this:
AuthName "Cobbler WebUI"
AuthType Basic
PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthenNIS
PerlAuthzHandler Apache2::AuthzNIS
PerlSetVar
I figured my issue out, and maybe my solution will help someone in the
future.
It appears to me (by going through the code, and reading manual) that
cobbler triggers only send few pieces of information to the script, such
as Server name, and Interface stuff (MAC,IP, etc..). It does not send
other
hmm… i’m not sure if baremetal systems w/o an OS will try to pull a DHCP
address unless they attempt to PXE boot by default. though as Marek said,
checking your DHCPD logs my help answer that question.
if you have managed switches, such as a cisco catalyst, you can log into the
switch and run
The most general way I can think of is to boot into some distribution's rescue
disk and use ifconfig.
Generally, the mac address can be found in the bios pxe boot screens, but maybe not and it's gonna
be in all sorts of different places depending on your bios.
Also (and I realize up front how
Well assuming you don't have a terminal for the box, you could look in you dhcp
log for an error (/val/log/messages). It will say that there is no available
lease and give you a mac address.
With the terminal, just start a pxe boot ant you will see the mac it is using.

Hi all
How do I discover the MAC address of machines that are available just with
only BIOS installed (no Operating System present).
And I need to find the mac address of such machines that are up with just
BIOS.
How do i do image installations on * bare-metal *?
Please Guide me.
Thanks.

I went though the code and I agree with you. On profile dhcp-tag is just a
variable but on system it's an array, and part of the interface.
I understand what you are saying, in terms of multi interface inherit the tag,
but that's a moot point. It already gets default assigned anyway, meaning
