PXE boot option lacks IPv4 device path

PXE boot option lacks IPv4 device path

[Santhapur Naveen]

Hello all,

                I've built and run the Nt32Pkg source from here<https://github.com/tianocore/edk2>. I've enabled PXE boot support and I could see only MAC device path (005056C00002, 0x1) present for all PXEv4 boot options something like UEFI PXEv4 MAC(005056C000XX).
                But for HTTPv4, the device path is "MAC (005056C00002, 0x01)/IPv4(0.0.0.0, 0x0, DHCP, 0.0.0.0, 0.0.0.0, 0.0.0.0)/Uri()"

                 Why the PXE boot option doesn't have the IPv4 device path?

                Your comments are highly appreciated.

Regards,
Naveen

Hi, Naveen

Are you using the PXE driver in MdeModulePkg? Only the NetworkPkg PXE driver will create boot option with IPvX device path node.
