I got the impression that the DHCP server has to do the job. It's part of the DHCP response, so can't be from separate servers, even if you could get the machine to talk to 2 simultaneously... (normally it takes the first responder)
What does that mean? Probably that you can't use the routers DHCP server.
I’m trying to set up a PXE server under Debian, but can’t see any packages that support the DHCP part of the PXE protocol.
I already have tftp running, and my router is running DHCP, so I just need the server that can send out the additional boot-related DHCP options alongside what the router is offering.
The ‘pxe’ package under debian appears only able to run on the proxy dhcp port 4011, which I don’t want or need because my PXE server is not running on the same server as the DHCP server. I think that’s just a permissions issue but I was hoping for something that “just worked” out of the box.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
James
