DHCP Option - Is it possible?

paulwoolnough — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 08:44:38 GMT

I know that the DHCP service offered on the Palo Alto firewalls is quite limited but I wondered if anyone has had any success in setting up specific DHCP options?

We have a requirement to set DHCP options 66 and 67 for PXE boot - this is possible on most DHCP implementations, including our previous Juniper SSG (ScreenOS) firewalls.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Our implementation of DHCP is geared towards workstations. Currently, PAN device do no support any of the DHCP options.

Thanks,

Is support for these options planned or should we do a feature request through our SE? Using PXE to bootstrap machines, incl workstations, is common practice and really should be supported.
