[Dnsmasq-discuss] proxy DHCP and UEFI boot

[Michael Walton]

Hi mailing list,

has there been any recent progress getting proxy DHCP + UEFI boot to work?

I'm using dnsmasq in conjunction with a little known (but remarkably good)

deployment system called crucible WDS. For windows deployments the author

wrote his own proxy dhcp system which -I *think*- is supposed to work with UEFI boot,

so if you are looking for some code that may point in the right direction,

check out:


https://sourceforge.net/p/cruciblewds/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/src/CWDS_ProxyDHCP/


Thanks,

Mike W.

I’ve posted a patch to make it work: http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2015q4/010007.html

It works perfectly for a single PXE service. It only uses the PXE menu system if multiple PXE services are specified as most firmware implementations don’t fully support it. Make sure to specify your PXE services for both BC_EFI and X86-64_EFI as UEFI firmwares can’t seem to agree which one is the correct one to use. As usual, specify the boot file name without the suffix (.efi).
