: : A WfM transaction works in a manner that is similar to a traditional TCP/IP
environment using DHCP, as described in Chapter 6 . However, WfM
provides a mechanism to include a separate Boot Server into the
transaction. This Boot Server contains the services that provide the
bootstrap filename and transfers the file to the PC. If the DHCP Service
provides the filename of the bootstrap program in its initial reply then the
PC will download the file through TFTP and execute it, skipping the steps
that involve the DHCP proxy and BINL Services. In this case, the WfM
transaction is the same as that of traditional TCP/IP using DHCP.
