[j-nsp] Bootp forwarding on M40

[Ian MacKinnon]

Hi All,


I am trying to use bootp forwarding to do some server installs across 
vlans on a M40 (Junos 8.0)

I have
helpers {
     bootp {
         description "install.lumison.net bootp forwarder";
         server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
         maximum-hop-count 15;
         relay-agent-option;
         interface {
             ge-0/2/0.blah {
                 server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
                 maximum-hop-count 15;
             }
         }
     }


When the server boots I can see the bootp request hit the install server 
and the install server send the offer back, but the offer never reaches 
the original server.

Instead I see it being blocked in syslog :-
Feb 13 17:05:52 nbg-bdr-01/nbg-bdr-01 /kernel: %FIREWALL-6-FW: .local..0 
    R  udp yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy 255.255.255.255    67    68

Where yyy.yyy.yyy.yyyy is the ip address on the M40 of the vlan with the 
original server

I cannot see any local firewall that should be blocking ports 67 or 68

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Ian
