Problems Configuring Port Forwarding on PowerConnect 62XX for RIS/WDS
Hi Everyone,
I am having problems configuring port forwarding on our PowerConnect 6224 for RIS/WDS.
According to Microsoft:
The specific changes that need to be made are –
1.) All DHCP broadcasts on UDP port 67 by client computers should be forwarded directly to both the DHCP server and the Windows Deployment Services PXE Server.
2.) All traffic to UDP port 4011 from the client computers to the Windows Deployment Services PXE Server is routed appropriately (these requests are direct traffic to the server, not broadcasts).
Updating the IP Helper tables is the Microsoft recommended approach for solving scenarios where the client machines and the network boot server are not located on the same network segment.
All of our servers are on the 192.168.40.0 network.
Half of our client PCs are on 192.168.41.0 vlan1.
The other half are on 192.168.42.0 vlan2.
Our Windows Deployment Service is 192.168.40.10.
On vlan1, the DHCP server is 192.168.41.10,
and the 6224 gateway is 192.168.41.254.
So on the 6224, I logged into the web interface and did the following:
Go to System -> IP Addressing -> UDP Relay
Added:
1. "Source IP Interface: 192.168.41.254", "UDP Destination Port: 4011", "Destination Address: 192.168.40.10"
2. "Source IP Interface: 192.168.41.254", "UDP Destination Port: 67", "Destination Address: 192.168.40.10"
3. "Source IP Interface: 192.168.41.254", "UDP Destination Port: 67", "Destination Address: 192.168.41.10"
However, this does not seem to work if I try to boot a client PC to PXE on vlan1 (182.168.41.x).
Does anyone have any experience setting this up, am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Chris
