Chapter 3: Installing Broadcom Boot Agent Driver Software
36
Overview
The AT-ANC10S/2 network adapter supports Preboot Execution
Environment (PXE). Multi-Boot Agent (MBA) is a software module that
allows your network computer to boot with the images provided by remote
servers across the network. The Broadcom MBA driver complies with PXE
2.1 code.
The MBA module operates in a client/server environment. A network
consists of one or more boot servers that provide boot images to multiple
computers through the network. The Broadcom implementation of the
MBA module has been tested successfully in the following environments:
 Linux Red Hat PXE Server . Broadcom PXE clients are able to
remotely boot and use network resources (NFS mount, and so
forth) as well as perform Linux installations. In the case of a remote
boot, the Linux universal driver binds seamlessly with the
Broadcom Universal Network Driver Interface (UNDI) and provides
a network interface in the Linux remotely-booted client
environment.
 Intel APITEST . The Broadcom PXE driver passes all API
compliance test suites.

Windows Deployment Service (WDS) . For Windows Server
2003 SP2, RIS was replaced by WDS, which offers a Broadcom
PXE client to install Windows operating systems, including
Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008
R2.
