similar to: Windows Server DHCP + UEFI recipe

A small how-to for encapsulating option 210 inside option 43 on Windows DHCP servers would be welcome then :-) And as far as UEFI x86 system go, one would simply have to create another vendor class with the value PXEClient:Arch:00006 On Wed, Jan 15, 2014 at 12:05 AM, Gene Cumm <gene.cumm at gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Jan 14, 2014 at 8:52 PM, Alexandre Blanchette > <blanalex at

I successfully encapsulated option 210 inside 43 with Microsoft DHCP servers. I followed the template in the PXELINUX documentation, at the "using vendor options, handcrafted" heading.

I'm currently using Microsoft DHCP to enable PXE booting. I've set options 66 and 67 for the relevant scopes and it's all fine and dandy. However, UEFI machines won't initiate PXE boot, they don't seem to recognize the options. Is there another setting that need to be set? And how to I filter UEFI clients so I set option 67 to the right value (lpxelinux.efi)? -- Alexandre

All, I realize this is not strictly a PXELINUX question. So I hope you'll indulge me; hopefully some of these PXELINUX experts have seen this before. And can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Or confirm my suspicions. I have a test lab server at work. Split config. The network team manages the DHCP servers, points to our TFTP server. Test subnet has 3 DHCP pools. BIOS PXE, UEFI PXE and

We are doing a deployment across many sites, we're doing one site at a time and we're bringing a "mobile server" (a laptop, really) to keep traffic local instead saturating the WAN link of each site. I'd like to make a script so each client can determine if the mobile server is on the same subnet either with a ping with a zero TTL value, with the ip/netmask and a bit of

Dear gentlemen, here goes the documentation fix I was talking about :-) The Wiki page on PXElinux, specifically the chapter on UEFI at the end of that page: https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX#UEFI ...contains a few examples of ISC DHCPd configuration. The stumbling block for me was the syntax of these "if" scopes: if option architecture-type = 9 { filename

In PXELinux 4.06 (the vanilla version, not gpxelinux.0), I'm trying to use pxechn.c32 to call iPXE (undionly) with option 67 set to call an iPXE script. The relevant portion of my PXELinux config looks like this: LABEL MDT MENU LABEL ^B - MDT 2012 SP1 com32 pxechn.c32 APPEND undionly.kpxe -o 67.s=ipxe/mdt.ipxe However iPXE doesn't seem to get the option correctly, it goes into

Once upon a time, Steven Tardy <sjt5atra at gmail.com> said: > The ?ICMP unreachable? should be a dead giveaway. . . You cut out the part of the email where the OP said that the UEFI system was ignoring the next-server part of the DHCP reply and trying to TFTP to the DHCP server instead of the TFTP server. Of course that got ICMP unreachable, but it isn't a firewall problem. To the

Is there a way to show some bits of information in the menu, like Syslinux version, MAC address and IP address? When the menu is loaded at startup, this information is quickly erased and is not easily readable. -- Alexandre Blanchette <blanalex at gmail.com>

Gene, I found a document from IBM that explains why it didn't like Vendor-Class-Identifier option I was using "PXEClient" was causing EFI boot rooms to dummy spit, that's very useful, that combined with RTFMing the PXE specs 3.0-3.2 might solve my problem if I keep at it. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21247032 Even the PXELinux docs suggest encapsulating

Hello, I am attempting a PXE boot between two systems, each with multiple network cards. While there are a total of 8 ports on each computer, only two (each) are connected as follows: Boot Server eth0 - 10GbE fiber channel (private to the set of computers being managed) (Qlogic) eth4 - 1Gb ethernet (public and out of my sphere of management) (NetExtreme II)
