Hello,

I would like to use the functionality offered by WAPT 2.5 for OS deployment.

Our DHCP infrastructure is managed by Efficient IP appliances.

Do you have experience deploying OS in this context for iPXE configuration?

Thank you.

For a minimal DHCP configuration, you can run:

`/opt/wapt/waptserver

/scripts/compile_ipxe.sh`. The script will create three files

: `ipxe_custom.efi` (for UEFI)
, `snponly_custom.efi` (for UEFI),
and `undionly_custom.kpxe` (for legacy).

In your Efficient IP Appliance, you can then configure a minimal PXE configuration:

`filename = snponly_custom.efi`
and `next-server = waptserverip`.

This minimal mode will allow you to deploy only UEFI machines.

Good morning,

Yes, I did some testing today and it works without any problems with this minimal configuration in Efficient IP.

You can close this post if you wish.

Sincerely.
