Parameter Description
HTTP Support
[Auto]
HTTPS only
HTTP only
Disabled
Use this option to control the UEFI HTTP(s) boot
support when in UEFI Mode, and the 'Discover Shell
Auto-Start Script using DHCP' option under 'Embedded
UEFI Shell' settings.
When 'Auto' is selected, the
system automatically adds HTTP(S) boot options to the
UEFI Boot Order list for every network port that is
enabled for Network Boot. Selecting this option enables
the system to boot to the HTTP or HTTPS URLs
provided by the DHCP server. Any other URLs
provided by the DHCP server are ignored.
When
'HTTP only' is selected, the system automatically adds
HTTP boot options to the UEFI Boot Order list for every
network port that is enabled for Network Boot.
Selecting this option enables the system to boot to the
HTTP URLs provided by the DHCP server, and to
ignore any HTTPS or other URLs that are provided.
When 'HTTPS only' is selected, the system
automatically adds HTTPS boot options to the UEFI
Boot Order list for every network port that is enabled for
Network Boot. Selecting this option enables the system
to boot to the HTTPS URLs provided by the DHCP
server, and to ignore any HTTP or other URLs that are
provided.
To enable HTTPS boot either by selecting
'Auto' or 'HTTPS only', you must enroll the respective
TLS certificate of the HTTPS server under Server
Security > TLS (HTTPS) Options.
Note: This setting
only affects the HTTP boot options added for the
network ports, and the Discover Shell Auto-Start Script
provided by the DHCP server. Other settings, such as
Boot from URL, are not affected by this setting.

firmware must be configured to access iSCSI targets
from the adapter initiator.
