I am trying to have an ubuntu box (192.168.10.9) acting as a PXE server, but i have trouble getting DHCP to work.
The PXE server is connected to a SOHO router (192.168.10.1) acting as a switch.
I have disabled the DHCP server on the router.
$ dhcpd --version
isc-dhcpd-4.2.4
The contents of /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
ddns-update-style none;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.1;
default-lease-time 3600;
max-lease-time 7200;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
allow booting;
allow bootp;
subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.10.101 192.168.10.200;
option routers 192.168.10.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.10.255;
next-server 192.168.10.9;
filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";
}
The contents of /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
INTERFACES="eth0"
When the client boots, it tries to get an IP address from the server but fails with the following Error message:
PXE-E51: No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received.
On Server side, i was tailing /var/log/syslog
while the client tries to boot:
