Pxe Boot over multiple subnets

Wed May 18, 2011 10:24 pm

Hi


I have a problem at one of my clients...


I have a Mt router with 3 independant subnets:

in ether1 - is connected the pxe server with ip 192.168.0.2
in ether2 - there is a unmanaged switch with for subnet 192.168.2.0/24
in ether3 - there is a unmanaged switch with for subnet 192.168.3.0/24

Is there a way for the workstations in the 192.168.2.0/24 and 192.168.3.0/24 to reach the pxe server? Unfortunately i cannot use vlans since the switches and without management.

I know in cisco i can use the ip-helper command to do this, but i can't find on mikrotik wiki anything except dhcp-relay, but will that do or i have to enable something else as well for the workstation to take their image from the pxe server???

Thank you

Assuming dhcp2 is for the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet
/ip dhcp-server
set dhcp2 bootp-support=dynamic

/ip dhcp-server option
add name=pxe-server code=66 value=192.168.0.2

/ip dhcp-server network
set [find address="192.168.2.0/24"] dhcp-option=pxe-server
Haven't tested this. But option 66 should be BOOTP 'next-server' so it should work.

/ip dhcp-server network there you can add same next-server option, and do not need to do that through /ip dhcp-server option menu.
