iPXE as PXE servers discover tool
Hi all
I have discovered iPXE today, so I'm quite new here.. :-) Very often I have a need to discover PXE servers within the LAN. I mean I need to know : * is pxe server coming via DHCP options 60, 66-67 and what these options are * is pxe server coming via local network (pxe and client are on the same network) * is pxe server coming via ipHelpers So, in short, I need a way to simulate a PXE request and analyze the answer. So far I have discovered, that booting a computer from ipxi.iso and performing: dhcp config => proxyDHCP gives me that information (at least in case, that DHCP, PXE Server and client are within the same subnet). However this doesn't work on UEFI computer. May I ask how can I accomplish that? Probably a properly deployed/configured Virtualbox VM with iPXE on it will do the tricks, that I need. So that I could a have simple , small , solution, that will do the diagnostic for UEFI and BIOS machines. Thank you in advanced and best regards |
