iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a
|
|
full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
|
|
|
|
- boot from a web server via HTTP or [HTTPS][crypto],
|
|
|
|
- boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE [SAN][sanboot],
|
|
|
|
- control the boot process with a [script][scripting],
|
|
|
|
- create interactive [forms][forms] and [menus][menus].
|
|
|
|
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card,
|
|
or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without
|
|
the hassle of reflashing.
|
|
|
|
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with
|
|
some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
|
|
|
|
You can download the [rolling release binaries][rolling] (built from
|
|
the latest commit), or use the most recent [stable release][release].
