The PXE Boot NetworkΒΆ

The PXE Boot network is used by the active controller to install new hosts over the network.

On each host, the PXE Boot network must be assigned to the untagged physical interface where the Management interface is configured. For example:

  • If the Management Network is assigned to the untagged physical eth0 interface, the PXE Boot network should also be assigned to that same interface, multi-netting both the PXE Boot Network and the Management Network on untagged eth0 interface.

    Note that in this case, the configuration is optional, because the system automatically assumes that an untagged physical interface assigned to the Management Network is also assigned to the PXE Boot Network.

  • If the Management Network is assigned to a VLAN (for example, VLAN 12) on the physical eth0 interface, the PXE Boot network must be assigned to the untagged physical eth0 interface.

Note

StarlingX does not support IPv6 PXE Booting.
