dnsmasq and pxe

[Mobo1964]

I'm trying to get pxe working on my RT-AC66U.

I placed dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,,192.168.0.1 in /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add and even in /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.postconf but both are not working.

Also tried when copying dnsmasq.conf to /jffs/scripts and add the dhcp-boot option to it.

When I check nvram show | grep pxelinux or nvram show | grep dhcp-boot there is nothing.

Anyone?

I'm trying to get pxe working on my RT-AC66U.

Did you either reboot the router or restart the dnsmasq service after doing these changes?

When I check nvram show | grep pxelinux or nvram show | grep dhcp-boot there is nothing.

There's no reason for any of these strings to ever appear in nvram.

I did a reboot several times.

At this moment I have a copy of dnsmasq.conf located /jffs/configs with the dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,,192.168.0.1 added.

Is there a method to see of these settings are added to dnsmasq?


There is another strange thing I discoverd.

At /jffs/scripts I have wan-start

-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin root 295 Nov 30 18:38 wan-start*

this should also start after a reboot and sent an gmail notification, and other things. This is also not starting.


admin@RT-AC66U:/jffs/scripts# cat wan-start
#!/bin/bash
sh gmail-notification

date >/tmp/wan-start.txt
sh vpn-reroute
echo "" >>/tmp/wan-start.txt
echo "VPN Reroute script running" >>/tmp/wan-start.txt
echo "" >>/tmp/wan-start.txt

echo "Mail startup script running" >>/tmp/wan-start.txt
echo "" >>/tmp/wan-start.txt


Gmail-Notification

#!/bin/sh

Just see if /etc/dnsmasq.conf contains it.

There's no Bash in the firmware. You must use #!/bin/sh as the shebang.

#!/bin/sh was the solution, Now pxe is also running.

Thanks for the support
