* UEFI 64 bit file name- `netboot.xyz.efi`
#### Unifi Security Gateway (with the controller)
Networks -> LAN (or the network you want to boot from) -> ADVANCED DHCP OPTIONS
* tick Enable network boot
* Server- YOURSERVERIP
* Filename- `netboot.xyz.kpxe`
Advanced full support
Go to Settings -> Networks -> LAN (or the network you want to boot from). Find DHCP Service Management and click "Show Options" to expand that section and set these options:
* Tick "Network Boot"
* Server - YOURSERVERIP
* Filename - set to one of the following, based on the type of the machines you're installing:
* UEFI (32 or 64 bit) - `netboot.xyz.efi`
* BIOS - `netboot.xyz.kpxe`
#### Unifi Security Gateway (Using SSH)
As an alternative to the Unifi controller, you may use SSH to create or modify the config files directly. This allows for more configuration than the UI:
* For USG variants force provisioning a json containing the same config used for EdgeOS (shown below) will fully support netboot.
* For UDM variants, creating a valid dnsmasq config and placing in /run/dnsmasq.conf.d will load the config, but will not survive reboots or firmware updates [source](https://community.ui.com/questions/PXE-Network-boot-UDM-SE-Serving-files-conditionally-based-on-architecture/1843fcf6-87d5-4305-bc1d-4e55619ebb10).
