Subject: [9fans] How to PXE boot with "two" DHCP servers on one network
Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2024 16:52:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <751C3828-CCC3-4B83-9EC9-37620CBB53C5@germteig.com> (raw)

My router at home also serves as the DHCP server for the network.

I have a plan9 file server and now want to pxe boot a second machine from it.
On the file server I have 'ip/dhcpd -sS' running, since it also serves bootp requests.

Now when i pxe boot the second machine, it loads 9boot, but when searching for the 
/cfg/pxe/<mac address> file, it uses the ip address of my router.

Boot Message:
        pxe on ether0 .
        (<router ip>!69): /cfg/pxe/<mac address> .T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.Ttftpread1st: failed to connect to server (<router ip>!69)

How can I pxe boot other machines, without my file server acting as dhcp server for the whole network?
