MAAS to ignore boot request from specific mac addresses

[Mike Pontillo]

Hi Eswar,

   If the node is deployed by MAAS and PXE boots, it will be sent a PXE
configuration that instructs it to boot from the local disk. If the PXE
server is unavailable and the BIOS falls back to booting from the local
drive, that should work, too. So you should be safe either way.

   If the node is NOT managed by MAAS but running on an
otherwise-MAAS-managed subnet, I would consider setting its BIOS to NOT
boot from the network. If you can't do that, I would consider adding an
iptables rule that would match the machine's MAC address and filter PXE
requests.

Regards,
Mike
