Goal Goal
To set up the 6310-DX Cellular Extender to hand out Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server
information via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), allowing the client devices that
supports Preboot Environment Execution (PXE) booting to take advantage of the advanced
DHCP server settings.
Setup Setup
This article assumes the 6310-DX Cellular Extender is operating under default settings, all
relevant PXE boot files and TFTP server processes are in place ready to be connected, and the
client device is in a state ready for PXE boot.
A generic Linux distribution is used as an example for the set up, and no operating system
installations will be covered.
