Description
iPXE is the leading open source network boot software. This software provides all the features of PXE including additional features, such as:
- boot from a web server via HTTP
- boot from an iSCSI SAN
- boot from a Fiber Channel SAN via FCoE
- boot from an AoE SAN
- boot from a wireless network
- boot from a wide-area network
- boot from an Infiniband network
- control the boot process with a script
You can use iPXE to replace an existing PXE ROM in your network card, or you can boot into iPXE to get more features without the need for a firmware module.
iPXE is freeopen-source software licensed by the GNU GPL (with some GPL-compatible licenses), and is used by many network equipment manufacturers and OEMs.

Where to begin?
For starters, you can downloadbootable ISO image. Burn it to a CD / DVD / USB and boot from it.
You should see the following:
iPXE - Open Source Network Boot Firmware - http://ipxe.org
Features: HTTP iSCSI DNS TFTP AoE FCoE TFTP COMBOOT ELF PXE PXEXT

Press Ctrl-B for the iPXE command line ...

Press Ctrl-B and you will be taken toiPXE command line:
iPXE>

You can display a list of network interfaces that iPXE has detected using the commandifstat:
iPXE>ifstat
net0: 52: 54: 00: 12: 34: 56 using rtl8139 on PCI00: 03.0 (closed)
[Link: up, TX: 0 TXE: 0 RX: 0 RXE: 0]

and get the IP address using the commanddhcp:
iPXE>dhcp
DHCP (net0 52: 54: 00: 12: 34: 56) .... ok

You can check the IP configuration and other DHCP options:
iPXE>route
net0: 10.0.0.155/255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.1
iPXE>show dns
net0.dhcp / dns: ipv4 = 10.0.0.6

Now you can download anything over the network. Unlike standard PXE ROMs, iPXE allows you to boot over a broadcast network such as the Internet. If the device on which you downloaded iPXE has Internet access, you can downloadiPXE demo script:
iPXE>chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php

Scripting Examples / Automation
The iPXE script is a simple text file starting with the magic line #! ipxe and containing the iPXE command sequence. For example, here is a simple script that obtains an IP address via DHCP and downloads an iPXE demo image:
#! ipxe

dhcp
chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php

You can use the commandgototo go to the script script name. You can specify a script name:
:<label>

and go to it using
goto label

For example:
#! ipxe

: loop
echo Hello world
goto loop

In this case, the name of the script is set to “loop” and after its execution we will return to it again and so on ad infinitum.

And in conclusion,make the task easierthose who want to createown boot menu. It took me a couple of days to search for "How to make an iPXE menu." I downloaded and opened the menu from various resources, until I reached an understanding and eventually came to my own ideal. Screenshots of my portal in the spoiler "Additional Images".
From words to action!Here is the code for my menu: (only the part responsible for displaying the menu)

Today, the client gave ASUS eeePC 701 ...

And somehow it was my surprise that ipxe recognized wifi! ath5k

And then failures and experiments went, but I got my way (as always, however).

In general, I installed WEP encryption on the router and then received a positive result.

Further standard (in my configuration net0 - wifi, net1 - LAN):
we enter
set net0 / ssid network_name
set net0 / key encryption_key
dhcp net0

And so I see the treasured ...... ok.
Profit!

somehow you can see the log?
I load veeam recovery via wimboot - boot, other wim from different winpe or just a menu - I get into the BIOS

BIOS / UEFI?
Show config



Rep: (13)
Sebaxakerhtc @ 05/12/19, 00:58*
Show config

figured out, selected different versions of bcd, boot.sdi, bootmgr.exe and it worked

No one is aware of how to make a menu for IPxe, and that it was Russian letters? The fact is that if I do not connect the wallpaper, then my menu is displayed correctly, but as soon as I connect - then instead of Russian letters appear gruzinitsa. Nowhere in the description did not find opportunities to connect external fonts in the settings at compile time - also did not find anything (whether it was looking bad, then there really is no truth found ability to download not just http, but also on the ftp.).

* Favorite6233,
I once also searched and not found. Then he decided to leave in English since my portal using different nations.
But so far I searched about fonts - found how to change the font color.
It turned out funny :)
And about the download - the possibilities are much wider:

Hey. Help to make way for the launch of the decompressed image windows.
I want to make an iso image ipxe to run the installer windows 10 over the network. A lot of things tried, but nothing worked.

I understand correctly, that next to the iso image Dolny is winboot windows and files?

* MegaFon929,
It is not clear exactly what you need and what attitude to ipxe



Rep: (591)
* sebaxakerhtc , Supplemented post



Rep: (657)
* MegaFon929,
What protocol?
FTP, SMB, iSCSI?



Rep: (591)
* sebaxakerhtc , http



Rep: (657)
* MegaFon929,
On http loaded winpe, and already from it run the installation script.
You need to mount the installation files (net use)

I can not make friends iPXE and Intel I219-V NIC can you know what to do?



Rep: (657)
* Shutnik),
To make friends, you have to flash it on ipxe?
Tried newer version?
Can be on my site to collect ipxe.pcserviceburgas.com

Just try netboot.xyz

I made on the home server remote boot loader tftp (something like a bootable flash drives on the network).
On the loader pxelinux all network cards are all perfectly loaded and running.
Began to try to make iPXE and then issue one network card works fine, but Intel I219-V is not defined iPXE boot.
I tried and download the new version and rebuild myself (well, to the best of its knowledge of Linux) and edited the file intel.c, changing attributes in front of the name cards, all to no purpose.
But the map of the distribution and support of its idea is realized in iPXE, do not understand why do not work.

P.S. With iPXE want to make a boot over iSCSI

And what exactly does not work?
On the rub?



Rep: (4)
* sebaxakerhtc , At boot time, when ipxe must find the map and define the network settings, ipxe not see the network card and therefore boot the boot menu does



Rep: (657)
* Shutnik),
Duck You go to the console and look at the definition of the parameters of the equipment before the start of attempts



Rep: (4)
* sebaxakerhtc , This is the console which for ctrl + b is turned on?
And it's an idea, I will try in the evening.
