<div>It looks like a perfectly normal iPXE environment being loaded. You need to break the endless loop with a boot script as described in the docs (DCHCP ISC example:
<a href="https://ipxe.org/howto/dhcpd#pxe_chainloading">https://ipxe.org/howto/dhcpd#pxe_chainloading</a>). A manual test approach would be to go to the iPXE shell (CTRL-b) and then specify the boot commands manually there.</div>

What's the purpose for the three different UEFI-64 entries? The name and test fields are different but they use the same boot file.<br>
<br>
I've added the three classes for 64 bit, I don't have any 32 bit systems so I don't need them. Changed the reservation for one client I'm testing with so the boot-file-name is set to "ipxe/ipxe-x86_64" since that's the path and filename that I got under /tftpboot/.
Select the NIC to boot from and the system gets a dhcp lease, says it's pulling the efi file but then just loops through the dhcp request process again. I figure I'm missing a step somewhere.<br>
<br>
For the old BIOS procedure I built a file with the boot commands named by the client MAC address, is that the same thing that UEFI uses?<br>

Got a snap shot of what I see onscreen. This will just keep looping through until I reboot it.<br>
