PXE booting - Do I need to provide DHCP too ?
 

Hello All,

I'm attempting to write a Win32 service to enable another device to do a PXE
boot (don't ask why, I'm a hobbyist :-) ).

While looking at the DHCP discover packets send by that device and replied
to by an already present DHCP server I could not help but wonder: Does my
service need to implement a full DHCP server, or can it only supply the
needed PXE parameters.

Said otherwise: Is a device attempting to do a PXE boot clever enought to
take DHCP data from one server, and combine that with PXE data coming from
another one ?
