PXE Everywhere Agent settings

Set this property to true to enable the PXE Everywhere Agent client module. The default value is false.

If enabled, when the 1E Client starts it will attempt to automatically remove any previous installations of PXE Everywhere Agent.

This setting does not have an associated registry entry and is stored in the 1E Client configuration file.

URL for the PXE Everywhere Central web service in the format: http://SERVER/PXELite/PXELiteConfiguration.asmx

where <SERVER> is the name of the server (or FQDN) where the PXE Everywhere Central web service is installed.

The http prefix to the URL is case-sensitive and must be entered in all lower case letters.

The URL is not verified by the installer, so you will need to ensure that the correct URL is entered.

This setting has an associated ConfigServerAddress registry value.

You must use the same FIPS encryption setting on all PXE Everywhere Agents. Use of FIPS compliant encryption for communications.

• 0 – use default encryption

• 1 – use FIPS encryption

This setting has an associated EncryptionType registry value.

A string value containing a valid package id of a boot image. If specified, do not get boot image ID from PXE Everywhere Central but use this one instead.

Whether the boot image is mandatory (value 1) or not (0). Only relevant in combination with AlwaysBootImageId.

Comma-separated list of IP addresses which PXE Everywhere Agent listens for DHCP (PXE) and TFTP requests. If not present, PXE Everywhere Local listens on all IP addresses. Use this if there is more than one network interface.

Used for UDP election broadcast messages, this must be opened in the Windows firewall.

URL for the PXE Everywhere Central web service in the format: http://SERVER/PXELite/PXELiteConfiguration.asmx

where <SERVER> is the name of the server (or FQDN) where the PXE Everywhere Central web service is installed.

The http prefix to the URL is case-sensitive and must be entered in all lower case letters.

The URL is not verified by the installer, so you will need to ensure that the correct URL is entered.

The debug level. Leave this at 1 unless 1E Support recommends a change. The range is:

• 0x1: Basic logging.

• 0x4: Extra "application-specific" logging.

• 0x8: Extra registry logging.

• 0x10: Increased general logging.

The following two bits will perform centralized logging via SOAP calls to the PXE Central Server:

• 0x1000: Logs election results.

• 0x2000: Logs TFTP file transfer start and stop (includes statistics).

Default TFTP block size. 512 if not specified.

This is the UDP port on which the PXE Everywhere Agent will listen for PXE requests.

If DHCP Snooping is not being used, then this port must be 67 (default), and you do not need to install Responders.

When manually installing the PXE Everywhere Agent, if the DHCP Snooping option is enabled in the installer UI, the default port is changed from 67 (43 hex) to 2067 (813 hex). If the MODULE.PXEEVERYWHERE.DHCPPORT installer property is used to specify a port other than 67, the installer UI assumes the DHCP Snooping option is enabled.

If DHCP Snooping is being used, then DhcpPort on Agents must be the same value as AltPxeServerPort on Responders. The default value of AltPxeServerPort is 2067. If a value other than 2067 is specified as a custom port number on Agents, you will also need to manually create the AltPxeServerPort (and AltPxeClientPort) registry values on Responders.

Time (in seconds) to wait for responses to the election request before broadcasting the result. Can be any positive integer value above 0.

When set, this manually created registry value determines the likelihood of the machine winning elections, all else being equal. The value must be between 0 and 99 inclusive. The higher the value the the higher the likelihood of winning. If no value is set, a default of 50 is used.

You must use the same FIPS encryption setting on all PXE Everywhere Agents.Use of FIPS compliant encryption for communications.

• 0 – use default encryption

• 1 – use FIPS encryption

If set to 1 the DHCP listener adds an ASCII terminator character to the bootfile name in the DHCP acknowledgment message. Some HP machines require this.

Any value other than 1 is treated as default 0.acknowledgment

If set to any value other than 0 the DHCP listener ignores the gateway address.

If not set then assumes default 0 .

If set to 1 then PXE Everywhere Agent does not bind on wireless adapters.

Any value other than 1 is treated as default 0.

The location of the PXE Everywhere log file. The path is created if it does not exist.

The logfile name is PXEEverywhere.log.

Formatting depends on which bits are set:

• bit 0 (0x01) use Configuration Manager-compatible format (default).

• bit 3 (0x08) do no formatting.

• bit 7 (0x80) include milliseconds in the timestamp

Maximum value for the block size (in bytes). PXE Everywhere uses the system MTU to derive the size of TFTP packets. May require limiting when using VPN tunnels. In most cases, this value should not be altered.

Default is 8192 (8 kbytes).

The actual block size used for the TFTP protocol is the lesser value of the tftpBlockSize and the MaxBlockSize registry values. The tftpBlockSize value is specified in the CreateBCD.exe utility command line, and does not have a registry entry or installer property.

Maximum size for the log file in bytes. Once the file reaches the specified size, a copy is made with a .lo_ extension in the same directory. A new log file will then be created.

Default is 10485760 (10 MBytes).

Mode must be one of the following:

• 0 – no elections.

• 1 – the election instigator becomes the master (only to be used for testing).

• 2 – with elections (default).

Time (in seconds) an election result remains active. 60 if not specified or 0 is specified. Can be any positive integer value.

Timeout for the TFTP listener. 600 if not specified or 0 is specified. Can be any positive integer value.
