My server blade is in a IBM blade centre and it's with builtin D-Link switch.

This Blade Centre9BC) attached to a external 3750 switch which does VLAN routing. I have 3 VLANs configured

DHCP server is behind the uplink L3 switch, it's working fine with windows level DHCP, I can renew address etc

But at PXE Boot level it does not work, config of the L3 switch attached.

I debug ip packet detail 141

with this out put

Dec 8 12:15:02: IP: s=0.0.0.0 (Vlan20), d=255.255.255.255, len 350, rcvd 2

Dec 8 12:15:02: UDP src=68, dst=67

Dec 8 12:15:02: IP: s=0.0.0.0 (Vlan20), d=255.255.255.255, len 350, stop process pak for forus packet

Do you receive any error message at the output during the pXE boot level?.If so, u just send me that message so that I will be able to determine what is the pblm or with which the problem is asscociated?.

Also, is this PXE boot problem is with all VLAN's or only with the VLAN's that doesn't belong to the DHCP server VLAN.Any special cases u noticed?.If yes, send me the details.This will help me to trace out the root cause of the problem.

You should add the "ip helper address" to the VLAN 78 interface and this should work.
