NetBoot and PXE Boot co-existence

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to sort out setting up NetBoot (NetBoot/SUS Appliance) in a Windows and Cisco environment that is already using PXE booting.
My understanding is the two can co-exist, but will need some help from DHCP. I see a lot of reference to IP Helpers, but mostly in conversations regarding NetBooting across subnets. I also know some people use DHCP Options.

What I haven't been able to sort out is, if I need both and if I need to use DHCP Options, which ones. I know it may not be that simple regarding which options, but it sounds like the IP Helper address is pretty straightforward.

Anyway, hoping someone can share how they've approached/accomplished this.

Thanks!

not sure whats going on there

you'll need to do a docker restart netboot_server after changing permissions

Further to this, is there anyway to reset these boot options, as some macs its still not serving a URI some it is.
