PXE Everywhere Responder settings

This is the UDP port that the PXE Everywhere Responder will reply to the PXE client (alternate boot loader) on.

If this registry setting does not exist then port 2068 is used.

This is the UDP port that the alternate boot loader will broadcast the custom PXE request on. The PXE Everywhere Agents must be configured to listen on this port, so it must be the same port defined by DHCPPORT when installing the PXE Everywhere Agent.

If this registry setting does not exist then port 2067 is used.

Comma-separated list of IP addresses which PXE Everywhere Responder 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.

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.

For a new install, it is not necessary to use the DHCPPORT installer property on Responders, because DhcpPort must always be 67 (default).

However, if you are upgrading a legacy PXE Everywhere Agent that has support for DHCP Snooping enabled, it will not be using DHCPPORT=67 and you will need to specify DHCPPORT=67 when upgrading it to be a Responder.

If you are upgrading a legacy PXE Everywhere Responder (an Agent in Static Responder mode) to be a new PXE Everywhere Responder then it will retain DhcpPort=67 during the upgrade, and it is not necessary to use the DHCPPORT installer property.

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.

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

• 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 acknowledgement message. Some HP machines require this.

Any value other than 1 is treated as default 0.

If set to any value other then 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.

Installation folder.

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

The logfile name is PXEEverywhereResponder.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 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 3 – Responder mode

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