PXE Configuration Utility
Customize PXE Server: Shared Configuration: This option is available when you
select a specific server from the File menu. You can also customize the properties for
the PXE Server you selected.
Use MAC Address Filtering: Select this option to use MAC filtering. If you do not select
this check box, the entries in the MAC Address Patterns section are ignored.
Service listed addresses: Select this option if you want the PXE Server to service the
list of MAC addresses in the MAC Address Patterns section.
Do NOT service addresses: Select this option if you do not want the PXE Server to
service the list of MAC addresses in the MAC Address Patterns section.
MAC Address Patterns
MAC addresses are listed in this section. You can add, edit, or delete the addresses. You
can also import or export MAC address text files.
New: When you click this button, the Define MAC Addresses dialog appears, where
you can enter MAC addresses. See Define MAC Addresses on page 311.
Edit: When you click this button, the Define MAC Addresses dialog appears, where
you can modify addresses previously added to the MAC address list. See Define MAC
Addresses on page 311.
Delete: Select a MAC address from the list and click this button.
Import: This option lets you import comma-separated text file MAC address list. You
can create the import text file manually, or you can import a file that has previously
been exported from any PXE Server on your network. When the Windows navigation
dialog appears, go to the folder or disk drive where the text file is located and click OK.
Export: This option lets you export the MAC address list to a comma-separated text file.
You can use the export feature to save a large MAC address list and import the file to
another PXE Server or to the same PXE Server in case you need to uninstall and install
PXE Server. You can export all or a part of the list by selecting the MAC addresses. When
the Windows navigation dialog appears, go to the folder or disk drive where you want
to save the text file and click OK
.
Define MAC Addresses
You can add or edit MAC addresses to the MAC address patterns section of the MAC
Filter tab. This determines whether PXE Servers will include or exclude the client
computers that are listed. See MAC Filter Tab on page 310.
Single address: Select this option and enter a single MAC address. This address
appears in the MAC Address Pattern section.
Address range: Select this option to enter a range of MAC addresses. Enter a MAC
address to start the range in the From box and a MAC address to end the range in the
To box.
Multicast Tab
This option lets you set properties for the way PXE Servers download the boot image to
client computers. PXE Servers communicate with client computers using the Multicast
Trivial File Transport Protocol (MTFTP) and support larger transport packets, which
reduces the time taken to download files.
