Configuring PXE Server

CentOS and RHEL both supports network installation using the NFS, FTP, or HTTP protocols. A network installation can be started from a boot media or a bootable flash memory drive. Alternatively, if the system to be installed contains a network interface card (NIC) with Pre-Execution Environment (PXE) support, Pre-Execution Environment (PXE) can also be used to install CentOS and RHEL.

How PXE works

The client's NIC with PXE support sends out a broadcast request for DHCP information and the DHCP server provides the client with an IP address, name server information, the hostname or IP address of the tftp server and the location of the installation files on the tftp server.

Following are the main steps required to configure PXE Server.
  • Change System settings
  • Configuring vsftpd for PXE
  • Copying DVD to /var/ftp/pub
  • Configuring tftp for PXE
  • Configuring dhcp server for PXE
  • Configuring name server - BIND
  • Configuring netboot - Attended PXE Installation
  • Configuring netboot - Unattended PXE installation
