      Hello,

      To realize my PXE/TFTP boot environment, I need to set the following values inside the DHCP server:

      
      dhcp-boot=tag:pxe,pxelinux.0
      dhcp-vendorclass=set:pxe,PXEClient
      dhcp-match=set:bios,60,PXEClient:Arch:00000
      dhcp-boot=tag:bios,pxelinux.0,192.168.1.5
      dhcp-option-force=tag:bios,209,pxelinux.cfg/default_BIOS
      dhcp-match=set:efi32,60,PXEClient:Arch:00006
      dhcp-boot=tag:efi32,pxelinuxEFI32.efi,192.168.1.5
      dhcp-option-force=tag:efi32,209,pxelinux.cfg/default_EFI32
      dhcp-match=set:efi64bc,60,PXEClient:Arch:00007
      dhcp-boot=tag:efi64bc,pxelinuxEFI64.efi,192.168.1.5
      dhcp-option-force=tag:efi64bc,209,pxelinux.cfg/default_EFI64
      dhcp-match=set:efi64,60,PXEClient:Arch:00009
      dhcp-boot=tag:efi64,pxelinuxEFI64.efi,192.168.1.5
      dhcp-option-force=tag:efi64,209,pxelinux.cfg/default_EFI64
      
      

      Target is to realize this solution: http://www.kit-coding.de/include.php?path=article&contentid=649 (german page)

      My problem is, that the client is not recognizing the configuration files provided by the tftpboot-server:
      pxelinux.cfg/default_BIOS
      pxelinux.cfg/default_EFI32
      pxelinux.cfg/default_EFI64

      Thanks for help!

            I'm facing exactly the same problem. I'd like to provide custom configuration location for PXE (pxelinux.0).
            Isc Dhcp server does support this feature, but pfsense doesn't.
            How can I add this feature?

            Here is the full description in german: https://www.german-syslinux-blog.de/synology-dsm-6-0-syslinux-6-04-pxetftpdhcp-server-einrichten/

            I'm happy with pfsense as my dhcp server, so i don't want to have my synology to provide ip addresses.
