[Dnsmasq-discuss] DHCP Proxy and UEFI HTTP boot

[michael at albert-hetzles.de]

Hi Geert,

solved it yesterday. The trick was to "enable" the vendor by 
dhcp-pxe-vendor. So this is the working config:

# Disable DNS Server
port=0

# Enable DHCP logging
log-dhcp
log-debug
log-facility=/tmp/dns.log

# run as DHCP proxy
dhcp-range=192.168.1.200,proxy
dhcp-pxe-vendor=PXEClient,HTTPClient:Arch:00016
dhcp-vendorclass=set:efihttp,HTTPClient:Arch:00016
pxe-service=tag:efihttp,x86-64_EFI,"Network 
Boot",http://192.168.1.200/esxi/mboot.efi

dhcp-boot=tag:efihttp,http://192.168.1.200/esxi/mboot.efi
dhcp-option-force=tag:efihttp,60,HTTPClient

Hhhhmm but the dhcp-pxe-vendor is not necessary for 
HTTPClient:Arch:00007 or HTTPClient:Arch:00009...? An iPXE boot with 
vendor class HTTPClient:Arch:00007 does not need this option so eval by 
dhcp-vendorclass works for 00007 "out of the box". Therefore I ignored 
that option also for 00016...

I was new to the mailing list and now reed the Monthly posting  
https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2022q2/016423.html 
and I agree: The documentation is "hard to "read" ;-)

Thanks for offering support.

Regards Michael
