PXE E38 TFTP cannot open connection

Hi,

TFTP on this host was working without issues till i went an deleted a host
on the foreman server. Deleting a host was failing so i followed the
workaround of setting IP :tftp_servername: in
/etc/foreman-proxy/setting.d/tftp.yml.

After deleting the host i changed this back to "undef" as it was before

The host got deleted and i configured a new host.

But since then I am getting below error after PXEboot of my provisioning
host

TFTP ARP timeout
PXE E38 TFTP cannot open connection

I am not sure what happened during changing tftp.yml file

Thanks

I think i got the problem.

This was the issue with the DHCP registering the tftp server IP. When i
changed the tftp.yml and gave some random IP (to make deletion of host
work), that IP got registered with the DHCP .
So every time I boot the new host to network it was trying to connect to
this IP instead of my foreman host tftp IP.

After deleting the DHCP entry on DHCP server and regenerating a new IP the
issue got fixed

Thanks
Gagan
