Abstract

We define Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) options beingused by Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) and Extensible FirmwareInterface (EFI) clients to uniquely identify booting client machinesand their pre-OS runtime environment so that the DHCP and/or PXE bootserver can return the correct OS bootstrap image (or pre-bootapplication) name and server to the client. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
