TFTP configuration
TFTP can manage different configurations, up to 1 per host!
This is how a ThinClient (= netBoot client) will retrieve its configuration:

As you can see you have 3 possibilities:
1. MAC @ filter. Configuration file name must be:
- Start with ARP type '01-'
- all in lower case hexadecimal
- dash '-' separators instead of ';'
for example a MAC @ 88:99:AA:BB:CC:DD would search for the filename 01-88-99-aa-bb-cc-dd.
2. IP @ filter. Configuration file name must be:
- host IP / network address in hexadecimal
- all in upper case
e.g. 192.0.2.91 -> C000025B
3. Default configuration

TFTP folder tree
This is how we'll setup our files and folders:
##### TFTP root
/tftpboot/
#### PXE application
/tftpboot/pxelinux.0
#### Boot configuration
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ # PXE configuration(s)
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32 # PXE interactive menu (text)
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/vesamenu.c32 # PXE interactive menu (graphical)
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default # default NetBoot configuration
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-ec-a8-6b-fd-da-44 # specific configuration for host with MAC @ "EC-A8-6B-FD-DA-44"
#### Netboot Kernels
/tftpboot/images/
