Enter configuration mode for the interface(s) that are not on the same
subnet as the 3000 and do the following (substitute appropriate
addresses):

Just put your 3000's address as the "ip helper-address".  BOOTP requests
seen on that interface will be forwarded to the specified address.  If
you are also filtering traffic, make sure you don't filter out bootp!
