iPXE booting with vlan support

Getting a version of iPXE that supports vlans

Download

ipxe_with_vlan_support_2014-06-12.iso

Build it yourself

[code]
git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
cd ipxe/src
sed -i ‘s///#define VLAN_CMD/#define VLAN_CMD/’ config/general.h
make
[/code]

There is multiple ways you can use your compiled binary, for testing just mounting bin/ipxe.iso and booting from it is good.

Using it

Boot from the ROM/ISO.

CTRL+B to get a command line when prompted.

Then assuming a desired vlan ID of 123:

[code]
vcreate –tag 123 net0
dhcp net0-123
chain tftp://${next-server}/${filename}
[/code]
