============================
Installing via a PXE server
============================

PXE imaging is convenient because it loads all the installer files over
the network, but it requires the installation of a special FTP server on
the local network and changes to the local DHCP server. Because it is
easy to quickly provision many nodes using a PXE server, this method is
our recommendation for large environments.

For instructions on setting up a PXE-enabled network, refer to `PXE
provisioning server <../../../extending-bonded-internet/pxe-provisioning-server.html>`__. The
instructions in this document can be adapted to integrate
SD-WAN provisioning into an existing PXE network.
