Instead of targeting *specifically* the device, I'd build snponly.efi.
This is akin to undionly.kkpxe.
I have successfully gotten it to work, but with some emulex firmware I've
been messing with iPXE is having difficulty doing DHCP with SNP while I see
no problems on any other nics (intel, broadcom, vmware's emulated intel,
couple of others).
xCAT when setting up chained UEFI boot constructs the following dhcp bit
(s/xNBA/iPXE/ unless using the xCAT branch):
host efitest1 {
dynamic;
hardware ethernet 42:8a:3b:42:a5:68;
supersede server.ddns-hostname = "efitest1";
supersede host-name = "efitest1";
if option user-class-identifier = "xNBA" and option
client-architecture = 00:00 {
supersede server.always-broadcast = 01;
supersede server.filename =
"http://${next-server}/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/efitest1";;
} elsif option user-class-identifier = "xNBA" and option
client-architecture = 00:09 {
supersede server.filename =
"http://
${next-server}/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nodes/efitest1.uefi";
} elsif option client-architecture = 00:07 {
supersede server.filename = "xcat/xnba.efi";
} elsif option client-architecture = 00:00 {
supersede server.filename = "xcat/xnba.kpxe";
} else {
supersede server.filename = "";
}
}
