Correct DHCP settings for PXE boot

RouterOS General
1

Hi All

I’ve got my DHCP server set up on my routerboard, with option 66 pointing to my tftp server, but am unsure where to set the filename.

Sorry if it’s a daft question, but this is the first time I’ve set up any form of PXE…

Thanks in advance.

I use DHCP with Win2003 server - with RIS server.
This is my config - it works.

0 PXE 66 66 server IP address
1 PXE 60 60 PXEClient
2 PXE 67 67 OSchooser\i386\startrom.com (file path)
3 PXE 43 43 01 04 00 00 00 00 FF

Just to make sure…

Option 66 points to my TFTP
Option 67 Is the filename

What do options 60 and 43 do? According to the DHCP option list 60 is Class Id (what should I set it to in Mikrotik), and 43 is vendor specific?

Option 66 does point my Cisco phones to my tftp, but it does not appear to point the PXE clinets, I don’t see any connections to the TFTP server from the PC’s, just the phones.

Is there another setting I’m missing?

Thanks
