Always pxeboot, then "re-imaging" is a matter of "turn it off and on again".
If you have a hardware failure how would you rebuild?
Of course this all takes time to implement and manage -- it's a tradeoff.
- pdpi 9y agoHow do you manage the network boot server? How will pxeboot interact with hosting your rack switch images?
- isostatic 9y agoHigh availability IP for your dhcp for "next-server", so you can boot one server from another one. Mikrotik routers and switches can boot from dhcp (or bootp?), but yes a typical switch can't. Not a network person, but I assume you can give fine grained enough control that you can't do a "copy running-config startup-config" on a cisco switch, so have a startup config that boots to a known basic state then tftps it's config from your HA dhcp server.
