PXE Boot Bug

Tags: #Firmware Update #pxe boot
Model: OC200  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: V5.9.32

I have been waiting for option 66 and option 67 for a while to test in my homelab pxe boot. I am not 100% certain if the issue is on my end of the configuration given PXE boot is new to me.  Maybe there is a bug in the beta firmware so I am asking for help.

 

This network (VLAN 10) is 192.168.10.0/24 and the PXE server is at 192.168.10.5. I am testing with a VM and changing option 67 parameters are catch properly during the PXE boot sequence although option 66 does not seems to work (always point back to my gateway ip = 192.168.10.1).

 

Is this a bug or I am not understanding how option 66-67 are expected to work ?

Yes, it is normal that it always points back to the Gateway IP, because the controller doesn't support to set of Next Server IP addresses at present.
This has already been forwarded to the TP-Link team for evaluation.

Thanks for your valuable feedback!

Which router and firmware version are you using?  I'm using a 7206 on the latest release and PXE Boot works for me with WIndows SCCM.  

 

Also on the latest controller version for a OC200.

I am trying with a linux guest agent and it still not working for me.  The "next server IP" is not being past to, it should not be 192.168.10.1 but rather 192.168.10.5.  I've tried a few time by either updating or reboot after applying those changes.

Did I miss the firmware of the 7206, that you were using?

I have PXE boot working on Windows MDT/SCCM server with my 7206 on the latest beta firmware.  

 

IDK if this is a bug with the Linux imaging server abd TPLink router combo setup.

I have tried network booting on Linux and windows. I always get the gateway IP instead of the network boot IP. I am able to set the filename that it looks for, and it is showing that without problem.
