For PXE Boot, you need to add the following under BootDevices:

        {
            "Name": "demo",
            "IpType": "IPv4",
            "Slot": "MLOM",
            "InterfaceName": "eth0",
            "Enabled": true,
            "ObjectType": "boot.Pxe",
            "InterfaceSource": "name",
            "Port": -1
        }

You can find the Slot ID value under your Server > Inventory > Network Adapters, when you select the Adapter, you will find a parameter "Connection" where you can see the Slot value. 

Slot:  The slot ID of the adapter on which the underlying virtual ethernet interface is present. Supported values are ( 1 - 255, "MLOM", "L", "L1", "L2", "OCP").

Interface Name: The name of the underlying virtual ethernet interface used by the PXE boot device.  You will find the vNIC name under your LAN Connectivity Policy.

hi

but currently i dont have any servers yet. only policies and templates

[tdubb123]

also what is INterfaceSource?

[Sandeep Kumar]

InterfaceSource value is based on what option you have selected: Interface Name or Port or MAC Address under PXE Boot device

For Interface Name, the value is "name"

For Port, the value is "port"

For MAC Address, the value is "mac" 

[Sandeep Kumar]

For now, you can set it to MLOM and once you have the Servers, you can identify the Slot ID and update it accordingly.
