Ohjeah!

As a follow-up to my previous post regarding pxe with wds, I recently came across  a new issue which I’ve not seen before:

“There was a problem initializing WDS mode.”

This error started after a recent migration of the network to vlans, mstp, and vrrp at the core.  The pxe/wds/dhcp servers have changed addresses however remain in the same VLAN.  All configurations have been updated accordingly, dhcpd options, correct ip-helper addresses, etc..

While I haven’t had much time to look at it, a quick work-around seems to place the client within the same vlan as the wds server.  I’ll try to look at this some more when I have time.
