Hi everyone,

So this is sort of infuriating; ok fine the IOS can't accept raw option 67 specified directly as part of the scope configuration with the name of the boot file and instead TAC suggests to use "bootfile xxx.bin" to do the same thing but it is NOT the same!! Please!

Here is a Microsoft DHCP offer example:

And now here is the Cisco's IOS DHCP server offer example:

Hello? Option 67 is missing on the Cisco side; yes the bootfile is present with a correct value but PXE booting clients need option 67 in order to extract the name of the file to be used during the TFTP bootstrap process.

So what is the conclusion here? That no one can use Cisco's IOS implementation of DHCP server in order to properly bootstrap PXE clients? Do tell me that I missed something :)

Thank you everyone!
