What do you mean with the firewall only supports static dhcp options

This is specific to how the value of dhcp option 67 is managed. It is static in the sense of you have to manually configure it to send out undionly.kpxe for bios computers and ipxe.efi if you want to boot uefi computers. That is a static text field.

When I refer to dynamic options, that means based on the pxe booting computer, if the computer is bios based then the dhcp server will send out undionly.kpxe name. If the computer is uefi based then it will send out ipxe.efi. Its dynamic from the perspective of the pxe booting computer.

If you had a windows 2012 or later or linux dhcp server you can enable policies to make dhcp option 67 specific to the pxe booting computer. If you are not using one of those dhcp servers and your dhcp server doesn’t support dynamic dhcp options then we can deploy dnsmasq to provide that dynamic info only. We find most dhcp servers running on routers or switches don’t support dynamic pxe booting, pfsense is one exception that does support it.
