Description

Please add the following if statement to the default dhcpd.conf file so iPXE users do not need to modify this manually. It appears that puppet-dhcp module has a variable for that, perhaps it can be used:

if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
  filename "http://{foreman-example-com}/unattended/iPXE?bootstrap=1";
}

Hi folks,

sorry for the late response, I was on parental leave.

The Puppet code automatically sets the iPXE URL to the template URL when the template feature is enabled. Additionally there is a parameter that enables bootstrapping, this is disabled by default. I can change the default behaviour if desired.

If the iPXE URL is set, all mechanisms described above are omitted and the defined URL is used.

Best regards
Harm
