+		      In a Secure Boot environment, the configuration file must specify that the <application>shim</application> utility be downloaded rather than the GRUB image. No other file can be downloaded via <command>tftp</command> in Secure Boot mode. <application>shim</application> is specified using the <filename>filename</filename> option in IPv4 configurations and the <filename>bootfile-url</filename> option in IPv6 configurations.

+		      Once the <application>shim</application> utility is downloaded and validated, it will automatically download the GRUB image. This image must be named either <filename>grub.efi</filename> or <filename>grubx64.efi</filename> and be available at the same location as <application>shim</application> and be accessible by <command>tftp</command>.
