SRX5308, DHCP and TFTP for PXE-Boot?

Hi,

 

I'm using DHCP on my SRX5308 (fw 4.3.4-2) and missing the option to set a TFTP-IP address for preparing PXE-Boot.

 

If I'm locking on my NAS (QNAP) and go to the DHCP section (but I prefer to use my SRX5308 as DHCP server, because my NAS isn't always on) ther are such a option:

TFTP Server & Boot File (optional): The NAS supports PXE booting of network devices. Enter the IP address of the TFTP server and the boot file (including directory on the TFTP server and file name.) For remote booting of devices, enter the public IP address of the TFTP server.

 

Doesn't support Netgear a TFTP feature on its SRX5308 Firewall?

Is there a workaround to use SRX5308 to support PXE booting?

 

Best regards

Red

    Hi RedDiabolo,

     

    I suggest that you post your concern as a feature request on the Idea Exchange for Business board here.  In this way, the development team can see what feature does users wanted to be added to the functionality of the SRX5308.  Be reminded that the more kudos given by community members to your feature request will help as the development team will be reviewing the post that has the most kudos and might get considered.
