DHCP Relaying via Sophos UTM - PXE Boot not possible

Hello Community,

we have the following construct:

Our Sophos is a SG450 with Version: 9.510-5

The Sophos Gateway routes the traffic for VLAN 144 and holds the interface on an link aggregation group.

From the link aggregation group the traffic is routed through a transfer network to our core switches (Transfer-Network via VLAN2101)

Our Core-Switches routes the traffic for VLAN 16 (Servernetwork). In this network is the PXE-Server hosted (10.46.16.40) and the DHCP-Server (10.46.16.8)

Now if we want to image a laptop via PXE Boot the Boot ends in the DHCP-Handshake at: DHCP Offer. No DHCP Request and Acknowledge is applied to the client.

I know that if the DHCP-Server, TFTP-Server and Client in different VLANs/Subnets its not so easy with PXE Boot.

I analyzed the traffic while the client pc tries to boot up with tcpdump on the transfer network between firewall and core-switches:

TCPDump:

DHCP-Scope (MS DHCP-Server) Settings:

Interfaces on Sophos - DHCP-Relaying for Interface VLAN144:

ICMP-Settings in Firewall:

In the Firewall log there weren't any Drops.

Core-Switch VLAN 2101 - ip helper-addresses

(Trk1-Trk2) --> LAG to Sophos

Core-Switch VLAN 144 - ip helper-addresses

The only idea that i have is that i dont relay the DHCP-Traffic for VLAN144 to the MS-DHCP-Servers.

Instead of this i could setup an DHCP-Server in the Sophos for VLAN 144 and set there the DHCP-Options,

with that the Client PC can find the TFTP-Server.

Any ideas?

Thank so far!

Hello,

i think, that the problem is this message i saw today via tcpdump trace regarding an udp checksum error...

The checksum error occur, if the Firewall redirect the DHCP-Discover-Broadcast from the DHCP-Client to the DHCP-Server. (physically Server 2016 hardware server)

1. DHCP-Discover start from Client (VLAN144)

15:52:32.556257 f0:1f:af:0b:ee:89 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 594: vlan 144, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 20, id 1, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 576)

    0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: [udp sum ok] BOOTP/DHCP, Request from f0:1f:af:0b:ee:89

2. DHCP-Discover redirected to "10.46.0.70" (Transfer-Interface to Core-Switches)

15:52:32.556354 00:1a:8c:f0:b1:e8 > 00:00:5e:00:01:45, ethertype 802.1Q (0x8100), length 594: vlan 2101, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 49273, offset 0, flags [DF], proto UDP (17), length 576)

There is a UDP Checksum Error.

3. DHCP-Offer from DHCP-Server back to Firewall

4. DHCP-Offer from Firewall back to DHCP-Client in VLAN144

Appendix:

If the Client-PC boots with Windows, the Active Directory Authentication + DHCP + DNS is working fine for the laptop in VLAN 144.

The TCPDUMP shows the following:
