Configuring DHCP or PXE on External Servers

The PXE service requires a DHCP server configured to provide boot server (TFTP PXE server) information and specific start-up file information. ASM PXE implementation uses the iPXE specification so that the configuration details include instructions to allow legacy PXE servers and resources to boot properly to this iPXE implementation.

This section provides information about configuring DHCP on the following servers. The information includes only the basic configuration options and declarations required for an iPXE environment. These details should be used as a cumulative addition to the settings currently used in your DHCP implementation (if you already have a DHCP environment).
  • NOTE: If you configure the appliance with multiple interfaces where one is an unrouted networkintended to be used for PXE and if you also use the appliance as DHCP server,it is indeterminate whether the correct PXE server IP address will be used in the dhcpd.conf that ASM creates.
