Special Forums IP Networking DHCP/pxeboot Situation: how to specify default route? Post 302551810 by Corona688 on Wednesday 31st of August 2011 05:31:08 PM
Old 08-31-2011
I've got PXE boot working here using dnsmasq, a very minimal daemon which functions as a combined DNS, DHCP, and TFTP server. It takes extremely few options to work and comes with many examples in its config files. I suppose you might want to turn its DNS server off though Smilie

With a lot of examples and blank lines stripped, these are the only options in my /etc/dnsmasq.conf:

Code:
# Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part)
domain-needed
# Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces.
bogus-priv

dhcp-range=192.168.0.129,192.168.0.254,255.255.255.0,12h

# Probably unnecessary -- in its absence, dnsmasq assumes the same
# default gateway as the server has.
dhcp-option=3,192.168.0.1

# what file to load from what TFTP server on PXE boot.
dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,mecgentoo,192.168.0.126

# Enable dnsmasq's built-in tftp server
enable-tftp

# where tftp should look for files
tftp-root=/tftproot
