Network.
If configured for Auto, all the network
operations initiated in the pre boot environment occur

boot devices is not modified in the UEFI Boot Order list.
New network boot devices are added to the end of the
list using the default policy of the System BIOS.
If
configured for IPv4, all the network operations initiated
in the pre boot environment only occur over IPv4. All
existing IPv6 network boot devices are removed in the
UEFI Boot Order. No new IPv6 network boot devices
are added to the list.

Use this option to control the IPv6 DHCP Unique
Identifier (DUID). If configured for Auto, the DUID is set
using the Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) of the

DUID is set based on the Link-layer Address Plus Time

network device from the F12 function key and one-time
boot options.
