Then how about maintaining a file/db with mac-to-address mappings and doing a lookup via some post install script? You could have cobbler manage the file via a trigger or even have this be your master list and use it to manage cobbler. I'll be interested in seeing how this pans out. Good luck

Yep, I'll have to change the VLAN tagging after the deployment but that's something I can manage. However deploying a dhcp proxy is not an option in this case :/

You'll have the problem of the vlan your interface is on needing to be changed after the build. If you are allowed, you might look at running a dhcp proxy in the other subnets in order to get your isolated dhcp
server to
respond to to the other networks. Doesn't require any special network settings but you'll obviously need to have holes punched through any firewalls and you'll need to modify the dhcp.template to accept requests from your other subnets. other than that, works like a charm.

Hi,
I would like cobbler:
- to assign/use an IP address from a specific pool (e.g.
192.168.1.0/24) during the deployment process to the machine being deployed
- but assign a different IP address from a different subnet (e.g.
10.0.0.0/24) as the final IP address of the machine after the deployment is finalized.
Additionally, it would be best to "catalog" the machine's final IP address in cobbler as the temporary IP used during the deployment is irrelevant. Can this behavior be configured within cobbler?
(I would need this because at my company we can only use DHCP/PXE on one specific network due to some strange security restrictions. Unfortunately this is something I can't change, so I need to find a way with cobbler and possibly some other configuration mechanism (we use cfengine and I can create a promise that changes the machine's IP address after deployment, but in this case cobbler still wouldn't know the final IP address of the deployed machine)) -- Zizi
