Hello Community,
I used this thread to configure the PXE Boot to a Windows WDS Server: PXE Boot DONE! - Discussions - Sophos (XG) Firewall - Sophos Community
The Client is requesting the boot file but there a strange characters at the end of the filename if I check this with tcpdump:
17:48:38.295584 xfrm1, OUT: IP 192.168.130.101.1451 > 192.168.168.10.69: 50 RRQ "boot\x64\wdsnbp.comM-^?" octet tsize 0 blksize 1468
17:48:38.321928 xfrm1, IN: IP 192.168.168.10.69 > 192.168.130.101.1451: 38 ERROR ENOTFOUND "The specified file was not found."
Has anybody an idea how I can remove the charaters? If I use a normal TFTP Client I can download the file from the server.
On the XG 18.5.1 I use these settings for DHCP:
system dhcp dhcp-options binding add dhcpname LAN-DHCP optionname Bootfile_Name(67) value 'boot\x64\wdsnbp.com'
system dhcp dhcp-options binding add dhcpname LAN-DHCP optionname TFTP_Server_Name(66) value 192.168.168.10
Thanks,
Ben
Now I have a running setup:
With a IPSec Tunnel (XFRM) this setup is not working. I switched to a RED-Tunnel with OSPF (I think it should work also with RED and static Routes). I removed the options 66 and 67 and set the Option 60:
system dhcp dhcp-options binding add dhcpname LAN-DHCP optionname Vendor_Class_Identifier(60) value PXEClient
I setup this NAT Rule for the WDS Server in a Remote Location. Port 4011/UDP is natted from the local Interface to the WDS-Server:
And this Firewall Rule:

Hi Ben. I'm planning to setup PXE boot as well, but on my Qnap NAS. How did you create the pxe bootfile? Is there a utility for this? I have TFTP server running in my Qnap. Any idea what else should be installed to have PXE server running in my Qnap?
We use a Microsoft WDS (Windows Deployment Service) Server and you find many setup guides on the internet, e.g. Configuring and using Windows Deployment Services (WDS) (thesolving.com)
