What tftp image is right to use?
I started configuring undionly.kpxe image on the dhcp server.
all works, but i think that is the legacy bios image. what to use with uefi images?
in a network with a mix of legacy and uefi bios howto configure both?
images available is:
10secdelay boot.txt i386-efi intel.kkpxe intel.pxe ipxe.iso ipxe.kpxe ipxe.lkrn ipxe.usb ncm–ecm–axge.efi realtek.kkpxe realtek.pxe snponly.efi undionly.kpxe
arm64-efi default.ipxe intel.efi intel.kpxe ipxe.efi ipxe.kkpxe ipxe.krn ipxe.pxe memdisk realtek.efi realtek.kpxe snp.efi undionly.kkpxe undionly.pxe -
@fabritrento for uefi boot you need ipxe.efi or snp.efi to boot.
If you have a windows 2012 or later dhcp server you can use these instructions to make a dynamic pxe boot. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Using_Windows_Server_2012_.28R1_and_later.29_DHCP_Policy
If you have some other dhcp server like from firewall or router we can use another method to give dynamic (bios or uefi) boot files. -
@george1421 i have a i5 hp pc that has efi bios.
the only image that i can run correctly is undionly.kpxe (bios). If I try to use one of *.efi images the bios hangs, none of available works.
There are a reason?
I want to use efi version and not the bios version because all pc on my network are efi -
@fabritrento the cause was a bad setting in the bios now ipxe.efi works thankyou very much
-
@george1421 i defined uefi policy… but the wiki don’t tell me howto define legacy policy… what are the string that i must insert for legacy boot?
-
@fabritrento For the legacy policy you just define the default dhcp options 66 and 67 for bios. So how it works is if there is not a uefi policy match it sends the bios boot file name. If there is a policy match then it sends the uefi boot file name.

@george1421 in this way don’t work i created 2 vendor classes, one PXEClient:Arch:00007 for uefi and onother PXEClient:Arch:00000 for legacy and in this way all works
-
@fabritrento said in what tftp image is right to use?:
PXEClient:Arch:00007
FWIW there are 3 or 4 uefi arch classes. I would at least create arch 7 and arch 9 classes, the others are for 32 bit processors.
