Question 15

During the PXE boot process, the BIOS-based clients are failing to retrieve their boot configuration. Upon investigation, the administrator realizes that the bootloader configuration is missing. Where should the configuration files be placed for BIOS-based PXE clients?
  • A /etc/pxelinux/
  • B /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/
  • C /boot/efi/pxelinux.cfg/
  • D /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/
Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: D

A. The /etc/pxelinux/ directory is not a standard location for storing bootloader configuration files for PXE clients. Typically, this directory is used for storing configuration files related to the PXE server itself, not the clients.

B. The /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ directory is not the correct location for storing bootloader configuration files for BIOS-based PXE clients. This directory is commonly used for storing files related to the TFTP server, not the client configurations.

C. The /boot/efi/pxelinux.cfg/ directory is not the appropriate location for storing bootloader configuration files for BIOS-based PXE clients. This directory is typically used for storing EFI bootloader configurations, which are used by UEFI-based systems, not BIOS-based systems.

D. The /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ directory is the correct location for storing bootloader configuration files for BIOS-based PXE clients. This directory is commonly used to store configuration files that are retrieved by PXE clients during the boot process. Placing the configuration files in this directory should allow the BIOS-based clients to retrieve their boot configuration successfully.
