When a PXE enabled client boots, it obtains an IP address, the name of our Boot server (i.e. TFTP server), and the name of the network bootstrap program (NBP) from our DHCP server. The client uses TFTP to download the NBP from the Boot Server and then executes it. Our PXE (Pre eXecution Environment) server will allow us to build our servers with little or no user intervention. Mccsrv01 is our DHCP server which will provide the IP to the new server and redirect it to our TFTP server, lcls-prod03. Our kickstart file location is in the “default” file in the APPEND section. The kickstart file will contain our complete build. To make changes to our build we modify our kickstart file. We only modify the DHCP MAC address and restart DHCP services to PXE boot our new servers. DHCP Server
