Hi there,
I'am looking for a switch to test PXE Boot and VLANs at home using iVentoy on my Windows PC to serve ISOs for installation on other devices over LAN. I was considering the Netgear GS305E but unsure if it supports PXE Boot. I could not find informations about that feature on this switch. Do switches like this generally support PXE Boot, or would i need something higher-end for this purpose?
Thanks for your help!

- I don't think the cisco devices play an active role , concerning PXE boot , as stated the network must only make sure that the device can reach the DHCP service (with PXE services implemented) checkout :

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. I don't quite understand how more this article helps for my specific question. Setting this up and getting it set up is not a problem for me. The question is if some switches don't support the feature like the ones I specified. I know that with Fritzboxes for example it is only possible to use PXE at all with special ones, that's why I ask.
Thanks for your help.
