Configuring Routers

For PXE to function properly, any network that uses DHCP and has multiple subnets should have an IP helper configured in the router between any clients requiring a dynamic IP address and the DHCP server. The router will need to be configured to have an additional IP helper address to point to the Management Gateway.

Example (Cisco Router):

1Go to Global Configuration mode.

2Type ip forward-protocol udp 67 and press Enter.3Type ip forward-protocol udp 68 and press Enter.

4Go to the LAN interface(s) that serves the PXE workstations.

5Type ip helper-address <DHCP Server IP address> and pressEnter.6Type ip helper-address <Management Gateway IP address> and press Enter.

Note: The above IP addresses should be entered without the < or > characters.
