PXE boot Client CPU to reach KACE 200) over different subnet
Ok let me lay it out for you .
Kacces 2000 ip info
ip:1##.1##.1.#
subnet:255.255.255.0
The client cpu Ip info
ip:1#.1#.0.#
subnet:255.255.252.0
When I boot the client computer it does not get to the KACE 2000. I think i have my DHCP setting wrong, can the KACE2000 PXE acress subnets? we are using a linux box to host or DHCP.
thanks

Check that you have options 66 and 67 configured correctly to be the hostname of the server and the file name for 67 to be kbox2000.0
Configuring the dhcp options may vary by Linux distro but I believe the following lines will work in your dhcp config file.
option option-66 code 66 = ip address of server;
option option-67 code 67 = kbox2000.0
If your subnets are seperated by routers then I believe it will not work as ARP is used to determine the MAC addresses.
Timi is correct you can see page 37 of k2000 guide for more details

If it's through Cisco switches, add the "next-server" entry into the Cisco DHCP settings, followed by the KBOX ip address.
Timi looks like the go also you could:
Ensure your IP helpers are configured in your switching infrastructure correctly.
If all else fails try using the KNIT (search for it on kace.com) and use it to manually specify kace IP address in a boot media to test.
