Here be dragons

Advanced troubleshooting

You can use a packet trace to determine which types of DHCPOFFER have been received by looking at the “seconds elapsed” field in any DHCP packets transmitted by iPXE:

Bit 0 Indicates that a DHCPOFFER containing PXE options has been received
Bit 1 Indicates that a DHCPOFFER containing an IP address has been received

For example, suppose that the packet trace shows a DHCPDISCOVER containing:

DHCP packet showing "Seconds elapsed: 14"

The “seconds elapsed” value in this example is 14, which is 0b1110 in binary. Bit 1 is set, indicating that a DHCPOFFER containing an IP address has been received. Bit 0 is not set, indicating that no DHCPOFFER containing PXE options has been received.
