PXE Everywhere Responder settings
Configuration settings for PXE Everywhere Responder.
PXE Everywhere Responder is a 64-bit application, and its registry values exist under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1E\PXELiteServer
Note
Registry settings:
AltPxeClientPort | AltPxeServerPort | BindTo | Debug | DefaultBlockSize | DhcpPort |ElectionWaitSecs | ElectionWeight | EncryptionType | Flags | IgnoreGatewayAddress |IgnoreWireless | LogFileName | LogFormat | MaxLogFilesize | Mode |SessionTimeoutSecs | TftpRoot

Installer properties:
DEBUG | DHCPPORT | ELECTIONWAITSECS | ELECTIONWEIGHT | USEFIPS | INSTALLDIR | LOGPATH | LOGFORMAT | MAXLOGFILESIZE | MODE | TFTPROOT
Registry name | Registry type | Installer property | Default value | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
AltPxeClientPort | REG_DWORD | This value does not have an installer property. | Registry value is not created. | This is the UDP port that the PXE Everywhere Responder will reply to the PXE client (alternate boot loader) on. If this registry setting does not exist then port 2068 is used. |
AltPxeServerPort | REG_DWORD | This value does not have an installer property. | Registry value is not created. | This is the UDP port that the alternate boot loader will broadcast the custom PXE request on. The PXE Everywhere Agents must be configured to listen on this port, so it must be the same port defined by DHCPPORT when installing the PXE Everywhere Agent. If this registry setting does not exist then port 2067 is used. |
BindTo | REG_SZ | This value does not have an installer property. | Registry value is not created. | Comma-separated list of IP addresses which PXE Everywhere Responder listens for DHCP (PXE) and TFTP requests. If not present, PXE Everywhere Local listens on all IP addresses. Use this if there is more than one network interface. |
Debug | REG_DWORD | DEBUG | 1 | The debug level. Leave this at
The following two bits will perform centralized logging via SOAP calls to the PXE Central Server:
|
DefaultBlockSize | REG_DWORD | This value does not have an installer property. | Registry value is not created. | Default TFTP block size. 512 if not specified. |
DhcpPort | REG_DWORD | DHCPPORT | 67 | For a new install, it is not necessary to use the DHCPPORT installer property on Responders, because DhcpPort must always be 67 (default). However, if you are upgrading a legacy PXE Everywhere Agent that has support for DHCP Snooping enabled, it will not be using DHCPPORT=67 and you will need to specify DHCPPORT=67 when upgrading it to be a Responder. If you are upgrading a legacy PXE Everywhere Responder (an Agent in Static Responder mode) to be a new PXE Everywhere Responder then it will retain DhcpPort=67 during the upgrade, and it is not necessary to use the DHCPPORT installer property. |
ElectionWaitSecs | REG_DWORD | ELECTIONWAITSECS | 1 | Time (in seconds) to wait for responses to the election request before broadcasting the result. Can be any positive integer value above 0. |
ElectionWeight | REG_DWORD | ELECTIONWEIGHT | 50 | When set, this manually created registry value determines the likelihood of the machine winning elections, all else being equal. The value must be between 0 and 99 inclusive. The higher the value the the higher the likelihood of winning. If no value is set, a default of 50 is used. |
EncryptionType | REG_DWORD | USEFIPS | 0 | Use of FIPS compliant encryption for communications. You must use the same setting on all PXE Everywhere Agents.
|
Flags | REG_DWORD | This value does not have an installer property. | Registry value is not created. | If set to Any value other than 1 is treated as default 0. |
IgnoreGatewayAddress | REG_DWORD | This value does not have an installer property. | Registry value is not created. | If set to any value other then If not set then assumes default |
IgnoreWireless | REG_DWORD | This value does not have an installer property. | 0 | If set to 1 then PXE Everywhere Agent does not bind on wireless adapters. Any value other than 1 is treated as default 0. |
n/a | INSTALLDIR | %ProgramFiles%\1E\PXEEverywhere\Responder | Installation folder. | |
LogFileName | REG_SZ | LOGPATHNoteThis property only specifies the location of the log file. | %ProgramData%\1E\PXEEverywhere\ PXEEverywhereResponder.log | The location of the PXE Everywhere Responder log file. The path is created if it does not exist. The logfile name is |
LogFormat | REG_DWORD | LOGFORMAT | 1 | Formatting depends on which bits are set:
|
MaxLogFilesize | REG_DWORD | MAXLOGFILESIZE | 10485760 | Maximum size for the log file in bytes. Once the file reaches the specified size, a copy is made with a Default is 10485760 (10 MBytes). |
Mode | REG_DWORD | MODE | 3 | Mode must be 3 – Responder mode |
SessionTimeoutSecs | REG_DWORD | This value does not have an installer property. | Registry value is not created. | Timeout for the TFTP listener. 600 if not specified or 0 is specified. Can be any positive integer value. |
TftpRoot | REG_SZ | TFTPROOT | | Location for the PXE Everywhere Responder WarningDo not change the location of TFTPROOT. If you need to do this then please contact 1E for guidance. |
