 1191.  Introduction
 120
 121   PXE, the Preboot eXecution Environment, is a first-stage network
 122   bootstrap agent.  PXE is loaded out of firmware on the client host,
 123   and performs DHCP [3] queries to obtain an IP address.
 124
 125   Once on the network, it loads a second-stage bootstrap agent as
 126   configured by DHCP header and option contents.
 127
 128   PXELINUX is one such second-stage bootstrap agent.  Once PXE has
 129   passed execution to it, PXELINUX seeks its configuration from a cache
 130   of DHCP options supplied to the PXE first-stage agent, and then takes
 131   action based upon those options.
 132
 133   Most frequently, this implies loading via Trivial File Transfer
 134   Protocol (TFTP) [6] one or more images that are decompressed into
 135   memory, then executed to pass execution to the final Host Operating
 136   System.
 137
 138   PXELINUX uses DHCP options 208-211 to govern parts of this bootstrap
 139   process, but these options are not requested by the PXE DHCP client
 140   at the time it acquires its lease.  At that time, the PXE bootloader
 141   has no knowledge that PXELINUX is going to be in use, and even so,
 142   would have no way to know what option(s) PXELINUX might digest.
 143   Local installations that serve this PXELINUX image to its clients
 144   must also configure their DHCP servers to provide these options even
 145   though they are not on the DHCP Parameter Request List [4].
 146
 147   These options are:
 148
 149   o  "MAGIC" - 208 - An option whose presence and content verifies to
 150      the PXELINUX bootloader that the options numbered 209-211 are for
 151      the purpose as described herein.
 152
 153   o  "ConfigFile" - 209 - Configures the path/filename component of the
 154      configuration file's location, which this bootloader should use to
 155      configure itself.
 156
 157   o  "PathPrefix" - 210 - Configures a value to be prepended to the
 158      ConfigFile to discern the directory location of the file.
 159
 160   o  "RebootTime" - 211 - Configures a timeout after which the
 161      bootstrap program will reboot the system (most likely returning it
 162      to PXE).
 163
 164   Historically, these option codes numbering from 208-211 were
 165   designated 'Site Local', but after publication of RFC3942 [8], they
 166   were made available for allocation as new standard DHCP options.

 173
 174
 175   This document marks these codes as assigned.
 176
 177   This direct assignment of option code values in the option
 178   definitions below is unusual as it is not mentioned in DHCP Option
 179   Code assignment guidelines [5].  This document's Option Code
 180   assignments are done within RFC 3942's provisions for documenting
 181   prior use of option codes within the new range (128-223 inclusive).
 182
 1832.  Terminology
 184
 185   o  "first-stage bootloader" - Although a given bootloading order may
 186      have many stages, such as where a BIOS boots a DOS Boot Disk,
 187      which then loads a PXE executable, it is, in this example, only
 188      the PXE executable that this document describes as the "first-
 189      stage bootloader" -- in essence, this is the first stage of
 190      booting at which DHCP is involved.
 191
 192   o  "second-stage bootloader" - This describes a program loaded by the
 193      first-stage bootloader at the behest of the DHCP server.
 194
 195   o  "bootloader" and "network bootstrap agent" - These are synonyms,
 196      excepting that "bootloader" is intentionally vague in that its
 197      next form of bootstrapping may not in fact involve network
 198      resources.
 199
 200   The key words "MAY", "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", and "SHOULD NOT"
 201   in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [2].
 202
 2033.  MAGIC Option
 204
 2053.1.  Description
 206
 207   If this option is provided to the PXE bootloader, then the value is
 208   checked by PXELINUX to match the octet string f1:00:74:7e.  If this
 209   matches, then PXELINUX bootloaders will also consume options 209-211,
 210   as described below.  Otherwise, they are ignored.
 211
 212   This measure was intended to ensure that, as the 'Site Local' option
 213   space is not allocated from a central authority, no conflict would
 214   result in a PXELINUX bootloader improperly digesting options intended
 215   for another purpose.

 2313.2.  Packet Format
 232
 233   The MAGIC Option format is as follows:
 234
 235              Code    Length     m1       m2       m3       m4
 236           +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
 237           |   208  |    4   |  0xF1  |  0x00  |  0x74  |  0x7E  |
 238           +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
 239
 240   The code for this option is 208.  The length is always four.
 241
 2423.3.  Applicability
 243
 244   This option is absolutely inapplicable to any other purpose.
 245
 2463.4.  Response to RFC 3942
 247
 248   The option code 208 will be adopted for this purpose and immediately
 249   deprecated.  Future standards action may return this option to an
 250   available status should it be necessary.
 251
 252   A collision of the use of this option is harmless (at least from
 253   PXELINUX' point of view) by design: if it does not match the
 254   aforementioned magic value, the PXELINUX bootloader will take no
 255   special action.
 256
 257   The PXELINUX project will deprecate the use of this option; future
 258   versions of the software will not evaluate its contents.
 259
 260   It is reasonable to utilize this option code for another purpose, but
 261   it is recommended to do this at a later time, given the desire to
 262   avoid potential collisions in legacy user bases.
 263
 2644.  Configuration File Option
 265
 2664.1.  Description
 267
 268   Once the PXELINUX executable has been entered from the PXE
 269   bootloader, it evaluates this option and loads a file of that name
 270   via TFTP.  The contents of this file serve to configure PXELINUX in
 271   its next stage of bootloading (specifying boot image names,
 272   locations, boot-time flags, text to present the user in menu
 273   selections, etc).
 274
 275   In the absence of this option, the PXELINUX agent will search the
 276   TFTP server (as determined by PXE prior to this stage) for a config
 277   file of several default names.

 285
 286
 2874.2.  Packet Format
 288
 289   The Configuration File Option format is as follows:
 290
 291              Code    Length    Config-file...
 292           +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
 293           |   209  |    n   |   c1   |   c2   |   ...  |   c(n) |
 294           +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
 295
 296   The code for this option is 209.  The Config-file (c1..c(n)) is an
 297   NVT-ASCII [1] printable string; it is not terminated by a zero or any
 298   other value.
 299
 3004.3.  Applicability
 301
 302   Any bootloader, PXE or otherwise, that makes use of a separate
 303   configuration file rather than containing all configurations within
 304   DHCP options (which may be impossible due to the limited space
 305   available for DHCP options) may conceivably make use of this option.
 306
 3074.4.  Response to RFC 3942
 308
 309   The code 209 will be adopted for this purpose.
 310
 3114.5.  Client and Server Behaviour
 312
 313   The Config File Option MUST be supplied by the DHCP server if it
 314   appears on the Parameter Request List, but MUST also be supplied if
 315   the server administrator believed it would later be useful to the
 316   client (such as because the server is configured to offer a second-
 317   stage boot image, which they know will make use of it).  The option
 318   MUST NOT be supplied if no value has been configured for it, or if a
 319   value of zero length has been configured.
 320
 321   The DHCP client MUST only cache this option in a location the second-
 322   stage bootloader may access.
 323
 324   The second-stage bootloader MUST, in concert with other DHCP options
 325   and fields, use this option's value as a filename to be loaded via
 326   TFTP and read for further second-stage-loader-specific configuration
 327   parameters.  The format and content of such a file is specific to the
 328   second-stage bootloader, and as such, is out of scope of this
 329   document.

 342
 3435.  Path Prefix Option
 344
 3455.1.  Description
 346
 347   In PXELINUX' case, it is often the case that several different
 348   environments would have the same TFTP path prefix, but would have
 349   different filenames (for example: hosts' bootloader images and config
 350   files may be kept in a directory structure derived from their Media
 351   Access Control (MAC) address).  Consequently, it was deemed
 352   worthwhile to deliver a TFTP path prefix configuration option, so
 353   that these two things could be configured separately in a DHCP Server
 354   configuration: the prefix and the possibly host-specific file
 355   location.
 356
 357   The actual filename that PXELINUX requests from its TFTP server is
 358   derived by prepending this value to the Config File Option above.
 359   Once this config file is loaded and during processing, any TFTP file
 360   paths specified within it are similarly processed -- prepending the
 361   contents of this option.
 362
 3635.2.  Packet Format
 364
 365   The Path Prefix Option format is as follows:
 366
 367              Code    Length   Path-Prefix...
 368           +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
 369           |   210  |    n   |   p1   |   p2   |   ...  |   p(n) |
 370           +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
 371
 372   The code for this option is 210.  The Path Prefix is an NVT-ASCII
 373   printable string; it is not terminated by zero or any other value.
 374
 3755.3.  Applicability
 376
 377   This option came into existence because server administrators found
 378   it useful to configure the prefix and suffix of the config file path
 379   separately.  A group of different PXE booting clients may use the
 380   same path prefix, but different filenames, or vice versa.
 381
 382   The 'shortcut' this represents is worthwhile, but it is questionable
 383   whether that needs to manifest itself on the protocol wire.

 397
 398
 399   It only becomes interesting from a protocol standpoint if other
 400   options are adopted that prefix this value as well -- performing a
 401   kind of string compression is highly beneficial to the limited
 402   available DHCP option space.
 403
 404   But it's clearly inapplicable to any current use of, e.g., the
 405   FILENAME header contents or the DHCP Boot File Name option (#67).
 406   Use of these fields is encoded on firmware of thousands of devices
 407   that can't or are not likely to be upgraded.  Altering any behaviour
 408   here is likely to cause severe compatibility problems.
 409
 410   Although compression of the TFTP-loaded configuration file contents
 411   is not a compelling factor, contrived configurations using these
 412   values may also exist: where each of a large variety of different
 413   clients load the same configuration file, with the same contents, but
 414   due to a differently configured path prefix actually load different
 415   images.  Whether this sort of use is truly needed remains unproven.
 416
 4175.4.  Response to RFC 3942
 418
 419   The code 210 will be adopted for this purpose.
 420
 4215.5.  Client and Server Behaviour
 422
 423   The Path Prefix option MUST be supplied by the DHCP server if it
 424   appears on the Parameter Request List, but MUST also be supplied if
 425   the server administrator believed it would later be useful to the
 426   client (such as because the server is configured to offer a second-
 427   stage boot image that they know will make use of it).  The option
 428   MUST NOT be supplied if no value has been configured for it, or if a
 429   value of zero length has been configured.
 430
 431   The DHCP client MUST only cache this option in a location where the
 432   second-stage bootloader may access it.
 433
 434   The second-stage bootloader MUST prepend this option's value, if any,
 435   to the contents of the ConfigFile option prior to obtaining the
 436   resulting value via TFTP, or the default 'Config File Search Path',
 437   which the second-stage bootloader iterates in the absence of a Config
 438   File Option.  The client MAY prepend the value to other configuration
 439   directives within that file once it has been loaded.  The client MUST
 440   NOT prepend this option's value to any other DHCP option contents or
 441   field, unless explicitly stated in a document describing that option
 442   or field.

 4556.  Reboot Time Option
 456
 4576.1.  Description
 458
 459   Should PXELINUX be executed, and then for some reason, be unable to
 460   reach its TFTP server to continue bootstrapping, the client will, by
 461   default, reboot itself after 300 seconds have passed.  This may be
 462   too long, too short, or inappropriate behaviour entirely, depending
 463   on the environment.
 464
 465   By configuring a non-zero value in this option, admins can inform
 466   PXELINUX of which specific timeout is desired.  The client will
 467   reboot itself if it fails to achieve its configured network resources
 468   within the specified number of seconds.
 469
 470   This reboot will run through the system's normal boot-time execution
 471   path, most likely leading it back to PXE and therefore PXELINUX.  So,
 472   in the general case, this is akin to returning the client to the DHCP
 473   INIT state.
 474
 475   By configuring zero, the feature is disabled, and instead the client
 476   chooses to remove itself from the network and wait indefinitely for
 477   operator intervention.
 478
 479   It should be stressed that this is in no way related to configuring a
 480   lease time.  The perceived transition to INIT state is due to client
 481   running state -- reinitializing itself -- not due to lease timer
 482   activity.  That is, it is not safe to assume that a PXELINUX client
 483   will abandon its lease when this timer expires.
 484
 4856.2.  Packet Format
 486
 487   The Reboot Time Option format is as follows:
 488
 489              Code    Length
 490           +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
 491           |   211  |    4   |            Reboot Time            |
 492           +--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------+
 493
 494   The code for this option is 211.  The length is always four.  The
 495   Reboot Time is a 32-bit (4 byte) integer in network byte order.

 5116.3.  Applicability
 512
 513   Any network bootstrap program in any sufficiently complex networking
 514   environment could conceivably enter into such a similar condition,
 515   either due to having its IP address stolen out from under it by a
 516   rogue client on the network, by being moved between networks where
 517   its PXE-derived DHCP lease is no longer valid, or any similar means.
 518
 519   It seems desirable for any network bootstrap agent to implement an
 520   ultimate timeout for it to start over.
 521
 522   The client may, for example, get different working configuration
 523   parameters from a different DHCP server upon restarting.
 524
 5256.4.  Response to RFC 3942
 526
 527   The code 211 will be adopted for this purpose.
 528
 5296.5.  Client and Server Behaviour
 530
 531   The Reboot Time Option MUST be supplied by the DHCP server if it
 532   appears on the Parameter Request List, but MUST also be supplied if
 533   the server administrator believed it would later be useful to the
 534   client (such as because the server is configured to offer a second-
 535   stage boot image that they know will make use of it).  The option
 536   MUST NOT be supplied if no value has been configured for it, or if it
 537   contains a value of zero length.
 538
 539   The DHCP client MUST only cache this option in a location the second-
 540   stage bootloader may access.
 541
 542   If the value of this option is nonzero, the second-stage bootloader
 543   MUST schedule a timeout: after a number of seconds equal to this
 544   option's value have passed, the second-stage bootloader MUST reboot
 545   the system, ultimately returning the path of execution back to the
 546   first-stage bootloader.  It MUST NOT reboot the system once the
 547   thread of execution has been passed to the host operating system (at
 548   which point, this timeout is effectively obviated).
 549
 550   If the value of this option is zero, the second-stage bootloader MUST
 551   NOT schedule such a timeout at all.  Any second-stage bootloader that
 552   finds it has encountered excessive timeouts attempting to obtain its
 553   host operating system SHOULD disconnect itself from the network to
 554   wait for operator intervention, but MAY continue to attempt to
 555   acquire the host operating system indefinitely.

 566
 5677.  Specification Conformance
 568
 569   To conform to this specification, clients and servers MUST implement
 570   the Configuration File, Path Prefix, and Reboot Time options as
 571   directed.
 572
 573   The MAGIC option MAY NOT be implemented, as it has been deprecated.
 574
 5758.  Security Considerations
 576
 577   PXE and PXELINUX allow any entity acting as a DHCP server to execute
 578   arbitrary code upon a system.  At present, no PXE implementation is
 579   known to implement authentication mechanisms [7] so that PXE clients
 580   can be sure they are receiving configuration information from the
 581   correct, authoritative DHCP server.
 582
 583   The use of TFTP by PXE and PXELINUX also lacks any form of
 584   cryptographic signature -- so a 'Man in the Middle' attack may lead
 585   to an attacker's code being executed on the client system.  Since
 586   this is not an encrypted channel, any of the TFTP loaded data may
 587   also be exposed (such as in loading a "RAMDISK" image, which contains
 588   /etc/passwd or similar information).
 589
 590   The use of the Ethernet MAC Address as the client's unique identity
 591   may allow an attacker who takes on that identity to gain
 592   inappropriate access to a client system's network resources by being
 593   given by the DHCP server whatever 'keys' are required, in fact, to be
 594   the target system (to boot up as though it were the target).
 595
 596   Great care should be taken to secure PXE and PXELINUX installations,
 597   such as by using IP firewalls, to reduce or eliminate these concerns.
 598
 599   A nearby attacker might feed a "Reboot Time" option value of 1 second
 600   to a mass of unsuspecting clients, to effect a Denial Of Service
 601   (DoS) upon the DHCP server, but then again it may just as easily
 602   supply these clients with rogue second-stage bootloaders that simply
 603   transmit a flood of packets.
 604
 605   This document in and by itself provides no security, nor does it
 606   impact existing DCHP security as described in RFC 2131 [3].
 607
 6089.  IANA Considerations
 609
 610   IANA has done the following:
 611
 612   1.  Moved DHCPv4 Option code 208 from 'Tentatively Assigned' to
 613       'Assigned', referencing this document.  IANA has marked this same
 614       option code, 208, as Deprecated.
