echo "iPXE Loaded.. running embedded script"
echo "Displaying interfaces.."
ifstat

dhcp

echo "DNS: ${dns}"
echo "DHCP complete chaining from the Gateway IP (DHCP Option 3) default.ipxe"

chain --autofree http://${3}/ipxe/${net0/mac}.ipxe
chain --autofree http://${3}/ipxe/dynamic.ipxe?mac=${net0/mac}
echo "iPXE script complete"
Then it loads the default.ipxe on the gateway with the following
PHP Code:
