Setting up PXE to WDS on Cisco DHCP

Jason Mills
Level 1
Level 1

We use our Cisco Catalyst 4500 switch for our DHCP in our environment.  We have multiple networks.  Would like to PXE boot new machines on network and point them at a WSD server (for an image) that is on another static network that is accessible by the machines booting on the PXE network.  Below is the config for the network that the PXE machines will be booting from, what am I missing?  As currently, the PXE boot is not working as expected?

ip dhcp pool seconddata
 network 10.90.92.0 255.255.255.0
 dns-server 192.168.0.215 192.168.0.175
 default-router 10.90.92.1
 netbios-name-server 192.168.0.215 192.168.0.175
 option 60 ip 192.168.0.95
  lease 7

are you on the same subnet your trying to boot from , if not you may need a helper address under the vlan int

see this as well there are other options may help you

https://support.symantec.com/en_US/article.HOWTO8974.html

ip dhcp pool <name>
     network <ip of network> <subnet mask>
     bootfile BStrap\X86pc\BStrap.0
     next-server <ip of PXE Server>
     default-router <network default gateway>
     netbios-name-server <one or more ip adresses>
     option 43 hex <hex values obtained from PXE Forced Mode Utility>
     option 66 ascii "name of PXE Server"
     option 60 ascii "PXEClient"
     dns-server <one or more ip addresses>
     option 150 <ip of PXE Server>
     domain-name <domain name>

 

some of the CLI commands aren't running.
