IIRC the protocol originally was very low level, usually at network card MAC/Arp addressing (and normally non-routable as a consequence). Therefore, a properly configured PXE server config *is* required
Well, in my setup I have no such PXE server, has worked fine without it for a good few years. I have DHCP and TFTP though.
The PXELinux config does have the capability of loading a remote image without the need for a dhcp server. A static temporary TCP/IP address may be used for image transfer. See PXELinux documentation at... http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX As I stated before I have used PXE in an environment with no dhcp server with just a default directory defined with no problems.
That's what I use - PXElinux.
I think that should have been "PXE uses BOOTP or DHCP"?
AFAICT (by googling), a PXE server is exactly what I proposed, i.e. a DHCP+TFTP server. I haven't found any downloadable "PXE server" package, only instructions for setting one up - which invariably includes setting up DHCP and TFTP etc. PXE is a software environment (by Intel IIRC) on the client, not a protocol.
Which is not quite "PXE uses BOOTP or DHCP" !
