It does nothing. The screen comes up for the Emulex PXE client, but tcpdump running on the management node doesn't reflect a DHCP request being sent.
I live booted a USB debian image, and verified that the 10g interface received a packet via DHCP, so I'm inclined to assume it's the PXE client on the 10g interface itself. Darian J.

The 10gb interface is going over one switch, and the twisted pair is on another. The management node is connected to each of these switches by its own respective 10gb and twisted pair NICs. I can PXE boot off the 3550's twisted-pair interfaces without a problem. When it does boot into discovery mode, it identifies the 10Gb interface and gives it an IP via DHCP. I can verify connectivity to the 10gb from the management node by pinging the compute node from the management node when it is PXE booted via the twisted pair. I've used telnet into port 80 to verify connectivity via the 10gb's private cluster IP addresss. I've checked the settings in the Emulex utility to verify that PXE booting is enabled and that it detects a link. I've verified that the dhcpd.conf file specifies the correct ip for next-server for the twisted pair interface (172.31.11.12) and 10gb interface (172.20.11.12), as well as the correct filename for the twisted pair (filename = "http://172.31.11.12/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nets/172.31.0.0_16";) and 10gb interface (filename = "http://172.20.11.12/tftpboot/xcat/xnba/nets/172.20.0.0_16";).
