SOLVED PXE Boot Issue - Not Receiving IP

[ChaseMcFadden]

Hi Everyone,

I have a distribution point, DHCP server, & a physical port used for PXE booting all on the same subnet. When a device attempts to PXE boot I can see the PXE request making it to the distribution point but the client device has an IP of 0.0.0.0 and never it makes it through to the WinPE environment.

On the DHCP server I can see where the device above was assigned an IP but it appears the IP is not making its way back to the client.


On this subnet is a redundant IP Helper pointing to the DHCP server; could this be the issue? Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated! I can provide more info if needed! Thank you!

If you plug a configured laptop in that port does it get an ip address?

Yes, no problem getting an IP address if a device plugged into that port is booted into an OS.

Believe we have gotten this resolved. It appears the issue was that there were IP helpers pointing to two different distribution points on the subnet. Once networking removed both of the IP helpers pointing to DPs imaging began working.
