PXE vs UEFI PXE

Hi,

Can somebody confirm is there a difference between PXE and UEFI PXE from a network point of view. So if I am building and I PXE build it it should look the same over wire given the same machine!

thanks,

Ward

I am not sure what you are looking for here; but I will try my best.
If you are using PXE for a typical setup, then typically pxelinux would be provided to the machine as a boot loader.

If you're using UEFI, then elilo would be used instead. If you are going to just be booting UEFI or PXE then there is no real special configuration needed. But if you intend to be able to boot and load BOTH, then extra configuration would be needed. Primarily from the DHCP server.

Other than the packets that are going to be going through the line and what is contained in their headers and the information encapsulated; you aren't going to notice much of a difference otherwise.
