DHCP Options 66 & 67
Hello,
I'm trying to setup my FWG with DHCP options 66 and 67 to setup a FOG imaging server. Although it allows me to add these options they do not appear to be working correctly as clients cannot boot. They get a TFTP Timeout error. For purposes of testing, I turned off DCHP on my FWG and setup a separate DHCP server (dhcpserver.de) with the exact same DHCP options and clients can boot and receive the tftp file no problem.
I found an old post, but not sure if it still applies. Is this a bug? Any way I can get this to work with my FWG?

Hi Support,
Any update on this Netboot DHCP options issue ? I have the same issue and I noticed that the DHCP option 67 is working but not option 66. It doesn't honor the IP address I have provided and it keeps connecting to the DHCP Server. For example
DHCP Server: 172.100.16.1
Netboot Server: 172.100.16.2
Netboot file: netboot.xyz.pxeWhen booting from a VM, i saw it is trying to connect to tftp://172.100.16.1/netboot.xyz.pxe instead of 172.100.16.2
