[wds] PXE Boot - TFTP?

[GRitchie]

Hello,

For some reason when booting into network (F12) some machines try and search for 'TFTP' then error.

It then can take 2-4 restarts and attempts to finally get it to pull the WDS LiteTouch DHCP request boot.

 

Anyone any ideas why it's searching for TFTP and how I can stop it?

Not something I've seen before and this is a new environment to me.

This might help. Saw on a new machine the other day in the BIOS when I enabled the network boot in integrated peripherals another option appeared to specify TCP/IP V4 IPV6 and TFTP. Never seen the option before. Worth checking. In your WDS setup you have configured the DHCP requirement so PXE boot can find a DHCP server to get an IP to contact WDS and load the boot.wim file? This file is then sent using TFTP (Trivial File Transport Protocol) to the client. Vlans these can cause all sorts of problems?
