Hello,
a customer asked for this, therefore I’ve made this possible with Foreman 2.1. The goal was to get UEFI HTTP Boot over IPv4 with 802.1q (VLAN tagging) with discovery working. I am happy to say this works. Requirements:
- Foreman 2.1 (RC1 or older)
- small template change: https://github.com/theforeman/community-templates/pull/736
- network with 802.1q (you can use a VM to emulate this in libvirt network: https://lukas.zapletalovi.com/2020/02/linux-as-a-l2-vlan-switch.html)
- this step can be skipped when doing this over BIOS or EFI legacy PXE: Grub2 (
grubx64.efi) from Rawhide, but note few Rawhide releases are suffering from a regression “Out of memory” which should be fixed soon, grab an older build in that case: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1838633 - you CANNOT use Grub2 from RHEL7 or RHEL8 until the next y-release due to other bugs which were fixed
