Re: UDP Helper problem

Hi Verzah

 

I never used udp-helper for a setup like this. It allways worked with the dhcp relay only.

 

Check if the DHCP Option is sent correctly to you boot device. Should be DHCP Option 66 and 67

See example: http://techthoughts.jakemorrison.name/pxe-booting-wds-dhcp-scope-vs-ip-helpers/
