PXE Boot issues with Latitude E5450.

Our SCCM 2012 is SP1 and it does not support Windows 8.1.
I had tried to capture the OS through network but there were issues connecting and smsts.log indicated share not reachable. Hence, I captured the OS in the D:\ of the machine.
Now after creating TS and deploying the OSD machine boots to PXE and starts to download boot image files and instantly restarts to Windows. I have performed below steps..
1. Got the network drivers and updated the boot image with the same
2. Checked the BIOS settings and time is updated correctly
3. Used an old boot image that was used to capture another model laptop with Windows 8.1 and still same issue.
Getting the below errors in smsts.log
uExitCode == 0, HRESULT=80004005 (e:\nts_sccm_release\sms\server\pxe\tspxe\tspxe.cpp,185)

Any advise would be helpful..

Our issue with the Latitude E5450 ended up being due to a boot image that wasn't being properly updated and/or pointed to during the task sequence set up. There also seemed to be some strangeness with the replication because the WIM file listed on
the server file system was showing as, for example, boot.XXXX.XXXX.wim (double name). As a result, when we would update the boot image with the correct NIC driver, the system was still pointing to, for example, boot.XXXX.wim.
We ended up re-creating the boot image from scratch using our base boot.wim image and using the 19.2.0.0/12.12.50.4 driver version for the I218-LM NIC, found at the download link below. If you recreate the boot image, don't forget to re-add all of the
NIC drivers, redistribute the boot image, and change which boot image your Task Sequence will be pointing to.

PXE boot issues with Windows Deployment Services

PXE boot issue with DHCP and SCCM server on different subnets

I'm working with a client on the operating system deployment module of SCCM.
Their network configuration currently has a single large subnet for client
computers with a DHCP server on the same subnet. The SCCM subnet is
configured on a seperate subnet with no DHCP server on the subnet. We want to
configure client computers to be able to boot using the PXE client to deploy
OS images to the machines but can not get PXE-boot to work correctly.
Also, the client does not want to make changes to their network
infrastructure routers or switches to remedy this problem. Are there settings
on the DHCP or SCCM servers we can implement to make this work? If so, what
needs to be installed or configured on each server. We currently already have
WDS installed on the SCCM server and the SCCM server is configured as a PXE
Service Point within SCCM. Both WDS and the PXE Service Point seem to be working fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary

I am Brazilian,
sorry for wrong english
My DHCP is on linux,
in my own structure VLANS
The system center is on the network
10.0.4.0/24
The machines on the network 10.0.5.0/24
The problem is that the machines that
are not on the same network system center
can not boot
I tried configuring / etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
follows
option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient";
option bootfile-name "\

OSD: pxe boot fails with "failed to get infromation for MP:/"

Hi,
We face an issue on pxe boot. It boots into pxe then tries to apply network settings but then reboots.
Ipconfig is ok, smsts.log says "failed to get information for MP:/oursccmserver.
Troubleshooting:
*PXE is working fine when client as well as sccm-server are in same subnet, it fails when in different subnets.
*Firewall is fully opened, no connections blocked.
*Ping to sccm-server works fine on dns
Please advise.

Strange PXE Boot Issue

This issue has me stumped. I've ordered in a new Dell system (Optiplex 3030 AIO) and I'm having issues PXE booting it, but only on some vlans. If I pxe boot in my work room where I do most of the imaging it pxe boots fine. If I try to pxe boot out on the
floor (same site) then it loads the boot.sdi but after this it tries to load the WIM file and it is very slow and it eventually fails. The message is that there is an inaccessible boot device.
The strange thing is if I take another modal desktop or even laptop, it pxe boots fine in those locations.
Something to note is I do have an SSD in the Optpliex 3030, however I have had SSDs in my laptops as well.
I have investigated the smspxe.log file and found that when it starts to load the WIM file I get an error saying "Failed to read PXE settings. The system cannot find the file specified. Error 80070002. This is further followed up with some warnings
about certificates not set.
I should also mention that I have played around with the PXE registry setting RamDiskTFTPBlockSize. I have tried all values up to 16384 with no change noticed.
Does this make sense at all?

Hi,
Really weird :( I never had this issue, but based on your input, the issue appears before the wizard so I don't think it has anything to do with the task sequences, OSes or Applications. Here's what I would do to investigate further :
Check UnattendPE_x86/64.xml to verify if there is a step running before litetouch.vbs that could cause this issue
Check WinPE log files (Netsetup.log, wpeinit.log) for additional info
If possible Try without drivers on a Hyper-V VM (Hyper-V additions are already part of the core Win7 image, so no need to add drivers)
Good luck, if you find anything, please share the solution here :)

Lenovo X1 Carbon PXe boot errors with SCCM 2007

I know there are many posts on this and I've gone through them all, but I am still having issues PXe booting a X1. I have a USB ethernet dongle (the new type with the rounded edge). the part number is 0b67708. It's branded Lenovo but when I pxe it recognises it as ASIX AX88772b. So far so good. It picks up an IP from DHCP ok, recognises the hardware as x64 and then tries to download the \smsboot\boot.sdi file from the SCCM 2007 server. It waits for 20 seconds then falls over with the following:
Status: 0xc0000001 - Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible.
Now, I have the the following drivers in the boot.wim file:
x86 -
1. Lenovo USB2.0 Ethernet Adapter 5.12.7.0
2. PCI bus
3. Intel ICHR/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller
4. Intel USB 3.0 Root Hub
5. Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller
x64 -
1. Lenovo USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter 5.14.4.0
2. PCI Bus
3. Intel ICHR/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller - 2821
4. Intel USB 3.0 Root Hub
5. Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller
I have tried using the ASIX drivers, all previous driver version, adding in the mass storage drivers, adding in the USB 3.0 drivers, praying to the PXe gods but nothing works.
All other hardware works fine. Any suggestions greatly welcomed.
Cheers - Mark.

Make a USB recovery drive before reinstalling.Thats the only option with a preload. With a retail serial number, you can download an iso with the upgrade assistant.
Also, how much ram do you have. If yopu have more than 4GB, you will need 64 bit XP, or the performance will take a hit. I tried XP on my W530, but I had to change several settings in the BIOS/UEFI.
W530(2436-CTO): i7-3720QM, nVidia Quadro K2000M,16GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive, 128GB mSATA SSD, Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome, Centrino Ultimate-N 6300.
Yoga 3 Pro: Intel Core-M 5Y70, Intel HD 5300, 8GB RAM, 128GB eMMC, Windows 8.1, Broadcom Wireless 802.11ac.

Serious boot issues with Powerbook G3 (Wallstreet II, OS 9.2.2)

Hello,
I have major issues with a Powerbook Wallstreet II I got recently. When it's finally running, it works just as well as Wallstreet Powerbooks usually do, no errors, no crashing, smooth performance, everything fine.
But booting it up is, to put it mildy, a bloody pain. First off, it does not power up, when it's only connected to batteries. I have two of them, both working fine for several hours when put in after bootup, but no matter if I place one or both of them in any bays, nothing happens when pressing or holding the power button (apart from screen flickering and speaker crackling). I'm always forced to connect the power adapter, which immediatly (without pressing the power button) causes the power LED to light and the cooling fan insanely spins up for a mere couple of split seconds until everything wents silent again.
Having reached this point, I can disconnect the power supply (if at least one battery is in) and usually hear a nice "BONG" when pressing the power button once again. Thereafter, nothing happens for a oppressive 30 seconds, then, the screen finally lits and shows the Mac OS 9.2.x splash screen on monochrome background. Sadly, this is already the end of most of my first boot up tries, because at this point, I usually get told by a dialogbox that a bus error has just happened. The box also has a nice "Reboot" button, which I cannot click as the trackpad hangs as well.
Pressing ShiftFn+CrtlPower works here in about one out of three time, so in most cases, I have to go through the same procedure. Pull out power sources, give a shot via PSU, have it iddling for 30 secs. In most cases, this second try lets me pass splash screen, loader, yes, it even lets me see the desktop, the taskbar, the HDD icon and... pouf. Success is so close but no, it has to suddenly drop into sleep mode and
a short press on power proves the apprehension true, that it won't be easy to wake it up again. Hrmph. But I don't give that easily. So pulling everthing out for the second time, connect PSU for the third time and look there, it fully boots.
Three tries to successfully boot is about average at first try series. Afterwards, it seems to be "warmed up" and things get easier. I made a log recently with 5 test series, made at very frequent intervals:
Series 1:
1. Bootup: Bus Failure (Hard reboot fails) (bays empty)
2. Bootup: Sleep Mode (bays empty)
3. Bootup: Sleep Mode (bays empty)
4. Bootup: Sleep Mode (both batteries)
5. Bootup: Bus Failure (Hard reboot successful)(both batteries)
6. Bootup: Success (left battery, right bay empty)
Series 2:
1. Bootup: Success(left battery, right bay empty)
Series 3:
1. Bootup: Bus Failure (!!!) (left battery, right bay empty)
2. Bootup: Success (bays empty)
Series 4:
1. Bootup Success (left bay empty, right battery)
Series 5:
1. Bootup Success (both batteries)
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

jpl,
Thank you for continuative support.
If you plan on buying a 256MB memory module, the Wallstreet requires
a 256 specifically made for it (and the early iMac
and Lombard). Modules 128MB and smaller can be
generic if they meet the Wallstreet's specs.
Thanks for this information.
You might find it useful to disassemble the 'book to the PMU, carefully remove/reseat the PMU card, then test.
Well, to be honest, I don't have the time to perform this very labour-intensive work. However, I pulled out the large PMU connector (the one that can be reached by lifting the keyboard) and reseated it, without any results. Shouldn't that suffice? Or is there another connection that could need maintenance?
Regarding sleep: There is no display position sensor, only a simple magnet in the right display bezel approximately 4" from the bottom...you can stick a paperclip to it. When the display closes, it triggers a sleep switch located next to the delete key in the side rail.
Ah, okay.
According to Apple, if the powerbook will not run on battery, it could be the charge card or PMU board or power supply card or logic board. However, your 'book apparently runs on battery once started via power adapter.
Actually, it does not allow me to power up, if I attach the adapter right after an unsuccessful try to operate from battery. Even if I remove the batteries (after adapter connection).
It's like it is "crashed" before it's even running. Which means, I have to pull all power sources to be able to perform the resuscitating power up via adaptor.
A normal power manager reset on the Wallstreet is this:
1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Simultaneously press Shift-Fn (function)-Ctrl >(control)-Power.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the Power button to restart the PowerBook >computer.
A successful reset will briefly flash the sleep light plus >spin up the fan for a second. If a reset does not solve the >startup and sleep issues, then you will have to look >elsewhere.
I can see the sleep LED and I do hear the fan, however, this didn't help in most cases. After perfoming this action (in a freeze situation), I usually only got rattling noises out of the speakers or screen flashes when trying to power up.
Be sure the powerbook only freezes when closing the display to sleep it.
Well, I noticed it sometimes also freezes when left idle directly after start up (and power save is activated). Later, it comes right back again.
- Is the sleep light blinking before you open the display?
Yes.
- When the display is opened, does the sleep light continue to blink? (It should.)
Yes.
- When you press the power button, do you hear a 'buzz' or some similar noise? If you do, you may have another issue to explore.
No. I usually only hear speaker noise when trying to power up from battery. But oddly enough, the lenght of the sleep light blinks changes when power button is hold down in "frozen sleep".
I would also go to the System Folder > Preferences folder and drag the Energy Saver Preferences to the Trash, close all windows, then restart...a new preference file will be created on restart. You can reset the Energy Saver to your like, then test sleep.
Done.
-Does sleep/wake always work when NOT closing the display? Try this after resetting the power manager and trashing the pref file mentioned below.
If I initiate sleep, yes. If it suspends automatically, well, usually. But not always (see above).

SCCM 2012 pxe boot issue

My test machines cannot PXE boot.
My lab environment is very simple:
10.10.0.0/24 subnet
10.10.0.5 = Server2012, DHCP, DNS, SQL Server 2008 R2 Sp2
10.10.0.7 = Server2012, SCCM2012
All machines are Oracle VM Box virtual machines connecting through the same virtual network.
Setup the PXE service from DP properties. I let SCCM install WDS. WDS in Server
Manager does not have a server node, but the WDS service is running. DP PXE tab is configured as follows:
"Enable PXE support for clients" is checked
"Allow this distribution point to respond to incoming PXE requests" is checked
"Enable unknown computer support" is checked
"Require a password when computers use PXE" is not checked
"User device affinity" is set to "Allow user device affinity with automatic approval"
PXE is configured to respond on all network interfaces
The PXE server response delay is 0 seconds
The DHCP server has options configured as follows:
Option 66: 10.10.0.7
Option 67: smsboot\x86\wdsnbp.com
Both DP and MP on SCCM server are configured for HTTP.
Both x86 and x64 boot images have been distributed to DP. The media was updated after
PXE was enabled on the DP.
Both x86 and x64 boot images have "Deploy this image from the PXE service point" enabled on the Data Source tab of their properties

PXE boot tablet with Used USB dongle

We are running SCCM 2012 R2 Single Primary Site Server.
We are using the dongle (USB) to PXE boot the tablet computer.
We have advertised the Task Sequence to All Unknown Computer.
Once we use the USB dongle to image computer 1 , then the MAC address of USB dongle gets associated with the computer name of the tablet because the tablet does not have Ethernet port.
Now to image computer 2 if we PXE boot with used dongle gets PXE abort as it is known computer.
If we advertise to "All Known" computers then try the PXE boot works and we can image computer2 .
Now how can we advertise task sequence to "All Unknown" computers and get the task sequence to work with used USB Dongle.

I suggest going back and reading it again then.
Highlight:
A “better” solution could be to create a collection, that is based on the Mac Address of the devices, which are used to deploy those systems. So typically this collection will have a handful of Mac Addresses. Important part is, that those Mac addresses
shouldn’t be used in day to day business, just for the plain purpose of deployment. Then one can advertise as many task sequences as required and limit the deployment(s) to only media and PXE. This way, the deployment isn’t visible from the Software Center
but the support staff can continue to deploy new systems using PXE or other medias like USB Sticks.

Weird gray screen/freeze boot issue with 2008 Macbook Pro

Early 2008 MBP. Gray boot screen with apple logo and spinning gear freezes. Now for the odd part. In the background I can hear iChat log in, and I can see the associated account as available via Bonjour so I know that behidn the scenes, the laptop is indeed logging in and launching the desktop. I also managed to remote in and can see the desktop normally. The screen remains frozen.
I was able to initially get it working by resetting PRAM and NVRAM but that is no longer working either. Also tried an SMC reset.
Can't boot from CD or recovery partition (same result..gray Apple Logo boot screen freeze).
Booting it in target disc mode allows full access to the HD without issue. HD was checked (no issues) as well as permissions the one time I did get a desktop.
Any ideas?

Was able to pull this info from the kernel log.
Feb 8 21:02:38 Username kernel[0]: NVDA: rmStart failed
Feb 8 21:02:38 Username kernel[0]: NVDA,Display-B: Not usable
Any suggestions? It appears that the video is not initializing properly. Not sure at this point if it's a hardware failure or not. I tried reinstalling when I managed to get to recovery console, but that doesn't seem to have helped either. That only overlayed the files on the partition though. Perhaps I should just try a complete reformat?

New P7N SLI Platinum Boot Issue with PS/2 Keyboard [Solved but RAID problem now]

This issue taken me back !!!! Never thought I might face issue with a PS/2 Keyboard.
Here it is.. I just assembled my new system...
P7N SLI Platinum Motherboard
E8400 CPU
EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600 GT Video Card
Creative Soundblaster Audio Card
So, before I boot, I connected good old PS/2 Keyboard. The POST Screen comes up that says Press DEL to enter BIOS Setup... but then, it reboots.. indefinitely... I have no idea why it does that. However, if I boot the PC with no PS/2 Keyboard connected, POST screen comes up and that's it.. (no reboot). So, you see, I cannot proceed further in anyway.... I cannot go beyond POST without a keyboard, but then with the keyboard it reboots indefinitely... kinda catch 22 situation
Any suggestion / ideas that anyone can offer here???

Hello Folks... it took long time to "solve the issue that had to begin with"....
I purchased a cheapo Celeron processor to get into the BIOS and update it... but it didn't even work... I couldn't boot at all. So, I called MSI and they asked me to RMA it. They replaced my MOBO with the latest BIOS - which was good news
So, now, I'm able to boot - good news...
Now, this is an upgrade for me.... from my previous MOBO. My boot drive was RAIDed (RAID 0). So, now, I will have to RAID my drives again and run Win XP repair. I was able to RAID my drives and all good... now, I went into Windows installation and did F6 to install NVIDIA Raid.... but, here is my problem, when the prompt asks me to input the floppy drive, and when I did it.... it re-prompts me to put the floppy drive again... I see that the floppy drive is read... but, for some reason it doesn't detect the files in there properly.... I downloaded nVidia C72+MCP55 SATA RAID / AHCI Driver (For floppy driver) for windows xp 32-bit and copied the sataraid folder contents into the floppy. Now, here I am stuck again....
Anybody experienced this problem?

Troubleshooting PXE boot issue

SCCM R2 not able to PXE boot from Surface pro. I am new to environment. How can I tell if PXE broadcasts are making it to device and to sccm ? I recieve the following output in CMTRACE in SMSPXE.log .. Am I doing something completely wrong ?
Client boot action reply: <ClientIDReply><Identification Unknown="0" ItemKey="16781189" ServerName=""><Machine><ClientID/><NetbiosName/></Machine></Identification><PXEBootAction LastPXEAdvertisementID=""
LastPXEAdvertisementTime="" OfferID="" OfferIDTime="" PkgID="" PackageVersion="" PackagePath="" BootImageID="" Mandatory=""/></ClientIDReply>
Mj

smspxe.log will display the MAC address if the broadcast reached the server.
You have to use Wireshark or Netmon if you want to find out if the response reaches the client.

T430 PXE boot issues

First off let me list my hardware/software
MDT/WDS server:
MDT 2012
Windows server 2008 R2
I have a fully working MDT PXE server with a WDS images. Basically I have a MDT server that gets the PXE request and then boots off the WDS image to start the imaging process. This works fine on the lenovo thinkcenters ok and I can boot off the CD from the MDT server. But when I boot from the network card I get no response or no DHCP.
- I have downloaded all the drivers for the Thinkpad and injected them into the MDT and WDS for the WINPE image
- I have updated the BIOS to the latest ver 2.09
- I can boot from the cd just fine to my server and pull an ip
Not sure why this laptop model is failing on the boot process to the network.. Anyone see this issue?
Solved!

Resolved by applying settings "Port Fast - Enable" to the port of Cisco Switch connected to the laptop or pc.

Boot issues with Win98. Safe Mode Boot only. Not all drives detected...

Hello guys! This is a great source of information and I've learned a TON browsing this place (on company time, hehe), but I've hit a road block that I can't maneuver around.
System Config
Neo K8T Neo Fisr mobo
Athlon64 3200+ CPU
1 Gig Kingston RAM
Ti4200 64 MB video card
520 Watt Antec Power Supply (after getting schooled by Bas's great posts on the importance of PSUs, I found out my lame-o 350 watt (!!!!) PSU, errr, ain't gonna quite cut it.)
Problem:
Windows98 won't boot all the way to normal mode. It only boots to safe mode. Apparently a driver issue?
Symptoms/Clues:
- Only detects my Western Digital harddrive (and only after some finegling)
- Wierdness with my 1.44 3.5" floppy (A:) drive. At first the BIOS would tell me the A: drive was there, regardless of whether it was plugged in. Then I plugged in the A: drive and Win98 in safe mode couldn't read from it. Right now, I don't have my A: drive connected and it's not in my Boot Order sequence (hard drive only for now).
- BIOS doesn't detect my new CD-ROM (SONY) drive at all. Note, this is a brand new drive that was NOT on my old system.
- I disabled the S.ATA controller. (This was confusing because there's an option to disable some SATA thing under an "Integrated Peripherals" menu. However, there's another setting to disable s SATA thing under a PCI Controller's menu. Seemed vague to me,, but then it's been a while since I've done this sort of thing.)
- I cleared the CMOS earlier because of wierdness were the system would hang on bootup and would ask me about starting a "Flash Recovery" process, upon which it would just sit there ( I left it running overnight once).
Call for help
Unfortunately I have no boot floppies, so I was hoping this was something I could fix without one, perhaps by changing some BIOS settings. Maybe it's a RealTek Boot Agent thing?
Any help is appreciated!

Im running win 98se with no real problems, and its doing so well that I still dont even feel like trying anything else..........
I'd say RE-clear your c-mos , using the jumper, and unplugging the power for 5 seconds..... then reset your bios settings.......Also, maybe just reinstall the via 4-in1 chipset drivers...... I remember fiddling with some bios setttings before, like the acpi by os or by bios etc.... that helped.....but its been awhile......The great thing about 98 is that you CAN tweak so much.......
You can reinstall over itself also, which can help redetect the hardware, yyou should always have the 98 files on the hard drive so you dont need the floppy or cd...... So many things you can try....... Resolve yourself to trying as many as possible , its fun when you get it right........... My prob. is that I never remember what I did to fix stuff heheheheh.......good luck
ps, the "flash recovery" thingy has to do with the realtek ethernet lan thingy....which you should disable in its bios.....I forgot how to get to it, I think F11 or something like that while it shows when you are booting....Then it will still ask when you boot, but wwont hang......

PXE Boot Issue

Hi folks,
It's been a while since I last setup my SCCM server to do OSD. I have currently just setup a new server to do this again, but I think I'm missing a few steps to get the OSD working correctly. I have WDS installed, setup PXE Service Point inside SCCM, and also have added the x86 and x64 boot images under OSD section of configmgr console. I can't remember if I have to add those same boot images to the WDS console as well, or what other steps I need to do to get this thing pushing out my os images again. Anyone point me to some docs or soemthing helpful it would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jay

Hi ChrisMullins, thanks x For your post, it may help me in my problem described here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrosd/thread/a83237d8-55d7-4b99-bc1c-10c3bbf5aef2 .
Please correct me if I wrong:
1.     Network configuration:
1.1.   DHCP options (http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/bootp/options.htm):
1.1.1. Option 66 - TFTP server name
1.1.2. Option 67 – Boot file name
1.1.3. Option 60 – This is value tell PXE clients where to find the OS deployment server
In other way my DHCP scope must be configured:
# Configure
option 66 "<FQDN of SCCM server>"
option 67 "SMSBoot\X86\wdsnbp.com"
# MUST NOT be configures
option 60 not configured
1.2.   Configure Cisco ( switch or router) options:
1.2.1. Configure allow to transmit all dhcp and bootp packets by using either one of commands:
1.2.1.1.         ip dhcp relay information trust-all (Description: Configure all interfaces on a router as trusted sources of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay agent information option, use the ip dhcp relay information trust-all command in global configuration mode. To restore the interfaces to their default behavior, use the no form of the command).
1.2.1.2.         ip dhcp relay information trusted (Description: Description: Configure selected interfaces on a router as trusted sources of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay agent information option)
1.2.2. Configure allow to transmit all dhcp and bootp packets directly to DHCP server using command ip helper-address <IP address>( Description: This subcommand tells the router to forward UDP broadcasts, including BootP, received on this interface to <IP address>)
1.2.3. Configure allow to transmit all dhcp and bootp packets directly to PXE server using command ip helper-address <IP address>
So Cisco must be configured as follows:
# Configure router to permit all dhcp and bootp packets
ip dhcp relay information trust-all
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to dhcp server
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP broadcast packets from client go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of DHCP Server>
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to Server with PXE Service point
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP broadcast packets from client go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of PXE Server>
Or more secure manner configuration must be as follows:
# Configure router to permit all dhcp and bootp packets
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP and BootP broadcast packets go>
ip dhcp relay information trusted
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to dhcp server
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP and BootP broadcast packets go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of DHCP Server>
# this will configure forward dhcp and bootp packets to Server with PXE Service point
ip forward-protocol udp
interface <ethernet interface to witch DHCP and BootP broadcast packets go>
ip address <IP address> <mask > # <??? Is it must be here ???
ip helper-address <IP Addres of PXE Server>
