### Router Setup Examples

#### PFSense
Services -> DHCP Server

Set both the option for \"TFTP Server\" and the options under the Advanced \"Network Booting\" section.
* check enable
* Next server- IP used for TFTP Server
* Default BIOS file name- `netboot.xyz.kpxe`
* UEFI 32 bit file name- `netboot.xyz.efi`
* UEFI 64 bit file name- `netboot.xyz.efi`

#### OPNsense
Services -> DHCP Server

Under the Advanced \"Network Booting\" section.
* check enable
* Next server- IP of docker host
* Default BIOS file name- `netboot.xyz.kpxe`
* UEFI 32 bit file name- `netboot.xyz.efi`
* 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
* 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).

#### Microsoft Server DHCP

* Run the DHCP program
* Under Scope/Scope Options
* check option 066 and enter the FQDN or IP of your TFTP boot server
* check option 067 and enter one of the following bootfile names:
* Default BIOS file name- netboot.xyz.kpxe
* UEFI 32 bit file name- netboot.xyz.efi
* UEFI 64 bit file name- netboot.xyz.efi

Anything else from a router standpoint is a crapshoot for supporting Dnsmasq options or proprietary PXE boot options, check Google for support (try your exact router model number with 'pxe boot') or look into setting up your own DHCP server in Linux.

This image also contains `netboot.xyz.efi` which can be used to boot using UEFI network boot. The UEFI boot and menu will have limited functionality if you choose to use it.
