Administration: Add Boot Server Page

Use this page to add a new boot server. You can add as many boot servers as required by the enterprise.

A boot server facilitates network booting and OS installation, and includes a DHCP and PXE Server (usually combined). A boot server is used everytime a hardware server boots up via PXE (network boot protocol), or if it is configured to use Dynamic DHCP to acquire its network adapter configuration.

Here, you must specify the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server hostname, and the complete path to the boot configuration directory.
