Tool/software:
Just a comment on DHCP server IP address - you can move it. But next-server should point at the DHCP server.
Hope it helps someone.
Using isc-dhcp-server, WSL2 (port mirroring, experimental, private network for Windows Defender, initd for tftp):
On a hunch I moved my DHCP Server/TFTP server to something other than 192.168.1.1
CHANGE:
next-server 192.168.1.1
TO:
next-server 192.168.1.2
Confirmed hunch:
man dhcpd.conf
next-server server-name;
The next-server statement is used to specify the host
address of the server from which the initial boot file
(specified in the filename statement) is to be loaded.
Server-name should be a numeric IP address or a domain
name.
OR specify TFTP server directly
man dhcp-options
option tftp-server-name text;
This option is used to identify a TFTP server and, if sup-
ported by the client, should have the same effect as the
server-name declaration. BOOTP clients are unlikely to
support this option. Some DHCP clients will support it,
and others actually require it.
WSL2 Aside:
For WSL2 - trick was private network, port mirroring, experimental see PS> commands:
Get-NetConnectionProfile
Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 5 -NetworkCategory Private
This was necessary for DEV machine to serve DHCP/TFPT info, and Wireless router to still be the gateway and canonical address 192.168.1.1
