      @Omar_Medhat How big is the iso image.

      There are some limitations you need to be aware of.

      Memdisk will only work in bios mode. Memdisk is a 32 bit application so that limits the size of the iso image to 2GB. To boot out of an in memory iso image, your system needs enough ram to contain the entire contents of the iso image AND enough free ram to run the OS from the ISO.

      To the second part of the question, can you boot a .efi file via a custom menu. Probably.

      Your custom menu configuration will probably look like something similar to this:
      Menu Item: os.special_fw_update
      Description: Firmware Update for this system
      Parameters:
      kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/bios_file_updater.efi
      boot || goto MENU
      Menu Show with: All Hosts

      Where bios_file_updater.efi is the name of you unnamed update file. That file will need to be in the /tftpboot directory on the fog server.

      @omar_medhat said in No Configuration methods succeeded !:

      The switch is cisco C3750G and as soon as I configured the port as port-fast … Problem solved !

      Well done.

      OS is Ubuntu live server 16.04

      Please make sure you switch to a more up to date OS before you go productive with this.
