Issue/Introduction

PXE generates the following errors:

PXE-T05 ' unknown transfer ID '
PXE-E36 ' error received from the TFTP server '

Cause

  1. Misconfigured DHCP options.
  2. Unsupported block size. What network device that may cause this is uncertain.

Resolution

  1. Add Option 60 to DHCP. Check the document: 179449
    Delete existing options 66 and 67 on DHCP.
  2. Change Block Size
    1. Launch Deployment Console
    2. Click Tools > PXE Configuration
    3. Click the Multicast tab
    4. Change Packet Size to 768
    5. If this resolves the issue, increasing the packet size may improve performance. Increase a little at a time until the highest consistently working number is found.
