PXE vendor container suboptions
When supporting a PXE client, the DHCP server passes the following option to the BINLD server that BINLD uses to configure itself:
Opt Num | Default Data Type | Can Specify? | Description |
---|---|---|---|
6 | Decimal number | Yes | PXE_DISCOVERY_CONTROL. Limit 0-16. This is a bit field. Bit
0 is the least significant bit.
|
7 | One dotted quad | Yes | Multicast IP address. Boot server discovery multicast IP address. Boot servers capable of multicast discovery must listen on this multicast address. This option is required if the multicast discovery disable bit (bit 1) in the PXE_DISCOVERY_ CONTROL option is not set. |
8 | Boot server type(0-65535) | Yes | PXE_BOOT_SERVERS IP address count (0-256)
If IP address count is zero for a server type then the client may accept offers from any boot server of that type. Boot Servers do not respond to discovery requests of types they do not support. |
9 | Boot server type (0-65535) | Yes | PXE_BOOT_MENU "description" Boot server boot "order" is implicit in the type. "description"...menu order. |
10 | Timeout in seconds (0-255) | Yes | PXE_MENU_PROMPT "prompt" The timeout is the number of seconds to wait before auto- selecting the first boot menu item. On the client system, the prompt is displayed followed by the number of seconds remaining before the first item in the boot menu is auto-selected. If the F8 key is pressed on the client system, then a menu is displayed. If this option is provided to the client, then the menu is displayed without prompt and timeout. If the timeout is 0, then the first item in the menu is auto-selected. If the timeout is 255, the menu and prompt is displayed without auto-selecting or timeout. |
