Acronis multicast and pxe boot over multiple vlans

Wtfacoconut — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:13:47 +0000

I just recently set up my switches to segregate my network into vlans and I have a sonicwall router to allow for inter vlan communication. I also have a server with acronis installed on it so I can image all of my computers when I need to do so. The problem now is, is that since I’ve enabled my vlans, my acronis multicasting server can’t seen to function with clients in other vlans. I know that I need to setup IGMP snooping on my switches and routers to take care of allowing multiple subnets to join in on a multicast session, (and if someone could provide me with instructions on how that do that please, that would be awesome) and the next thing I need to figure out is how to get my PXE servr t work across my vlans as well. For that because it relies on the dhcp server on the current subnet that it is in, I’m not sure if this would be possible (or is it?). If possible, once again it would be awesome if someone could point me in the right direction. Just do you know I have 6 vlans and my imaging server is in vlan-1.

FOG, Smoothwall School Guardian and DHCP

I’m trying to set up FOG to image the many computers on campus. DHCP is handled through Smoothwall School Guardian. I need to modify the DHCP settings on School Guardian so it points the PXE services to the FOG server. Does anyone know how this is done in Smoothwall School Guardian?
Static IPs are mostly used on the network, but there is a Dynamic range for visitors. I’m not that familiar with DHCP, SchoolGuardian or FOG so any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
