Need to have 2 disctinct services for tftp and http in pxe chain boot about bluebanquise HOT 3 CLOSED

Dear @jpm38 ,

I understand your need.

The PXE chain was designed to be as simple as possible for debugging, as I found PXE part is always the trickiest part.

However, having the ability to split these 2 ip is understandable.

I can propose you the following way, only for advanced_dhcp_server role:

If in network ice1-1 for example, the service pxe_http_ip is set (assuming here 10.10.77.1), then dhcp template will add in the ice1-1 subnet:

option root-path "10.10.77.1";

And then, in the embed script of the rom, there would be:

isset ${root-path} && set next-server ${root-path}

This way, next-server ip would be override by this new ip.

I know root-path was not design for an ip, but for an iSCSI target. However, the probability someone use the BlueBanquise iPXE rom for iSCSI targets is very very low...

Would this be a good solution for you ?

Dear @oxedions

Your proposal looks good to me and fits exactly our needs.
Can I hope to have this feature in 1.2 ?
Many thanks

Dear @jpm38 ,

@actatux PR provided a solution.

I will rebuild new roms and you will be able to benefit from it, in 1.2.0 version :-)
