PXE Route from 2910

[peyushzach]

Hi ,

We have  around 20 VLAN's in one of our building. I am using 2910al switches.

The problem i have is my vlan's cannot do PXE boot when we have to image any PC's. It says bootfile cannot be find or something.

one Sample VLAN configuration is mentioned below:

vlan 10
   name "CAR4F-MAINT"
   untagged 21-25
   ip helper-address 192.168.0.3
   ip address 10.4.10.1 255.255.255.0
   exit

here you see DHCP is in 192.168.0.3 and our PXE ip is 192.168.0.64

I guess if I point the IP helper address to broadcast address ( ip helper-address 192.168.0.255)  the packet can hit pxe.

Is it right way of doing it ?

Or anything else that i needs to do ?

Please advise me and also any question please ask.

Many Thanks.

Hi thanks for the help,

This is now resolved, I added another ip helper address with pxe ip and it worked.

Many thanks.
