PXE Booting on VSP not working

DominikG — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 12:06:00 GMT

Hi all

We're running a fabric-campus VOSS-core design (VSP-7400) with edge-switches (X465) running on EXOS.

Unfortunately we've now had a use-case where had to mix a server-environment with a client-environement (running NAC) on those voss-device (VSP-4900 -running 10GB over cuRJ45). Next to the fact that we struggle to get NAC properly implemented, we are currently get no PXE-Connection running for stageing the servers (DHCP-Request won't be proceeded - if I connect my Laptop to the port I have no problem receiving a IP).

Is anyone aware of any specific command to get pxe-boot on VOSS running? Or am I missing something..

Thanks for your thoughts.

Cheers, Dom

VOSS-Version 8.2.7.0
EXOS-Version 30.7.1.1-patch1-103

Follow up - workaround.

We've moved the machines to another Vlan and things run smoothly.

8.2.7 is quite old code in this regards, we did update the auto-sense state machine to better classify devices into the right ISID in later releases. I suggest you upgrade to 8.5.2. Roger
