Sophos Firewall: v20.0 - PXE-Boot Problems

Hello everyone.
I would like to share my experience regarding PXE boot with you.

I have already solved the problem with thePXE boot on our old XG2300 v19.5 with the help of the forum and Sophos support.
Entered the required options in the DHCP server and created a DNAT rule -> PXE boot works.

Now I wanted to transfer the whole thing manually to our new XGS4500 v20 and encountered the following problem.
All required configuration/options entered via the GUI -> no PXE boot possible! (Error: no offer received)

At some point I deleted all DHCP-Server-Options in the GUI and then re-entered them via the console with exactly the same values
* TFTP_Server_Name(66)
* Bootfile_Name(67)
* Vendor_Class_Identifier(60)

-> restarted DHCP server service -> PXE boot SUCCESSFUL !

So it seems that DHCP options set via the GUI does not work correctly ?!

Maybe this will help someone ?

Best regards
Marco

Hello Marco,

Thank you! I found the Case ID 0432196

I will reach out internally to check further if there’s a reason why this would be working on v19.5 but not in v20. I will get back to you by the end of the day on Tuesday.

Hello Marco,

Sorry for the late reply.

The PM mentioned that you might be affected by NC-117690; however, to confirm, a new set of pcaps is needed since the ones shared in the case have expired.

Could you open a new case, reference this community thread and the NC, and share the Case ID with me so that I can expedite it?
