I am starting to run into issues where portfast needs to be enabled for imaging to work properly. It won't fail every time, but it will definitely cause it to fail some of the time.
I believe with portfast disabled, our switches won't pass traffic for 30 seconds. This has caused some problems with our task sequences where the client doesn't have an IP address when it needs to do some action that requires network connectivity, such as adding to the domain. I am seeing this in multiple scenarios, including using Dell's Stand Alone SCCM Image deployments, as well as a Stand Alone Media deployment of a Dell Venue 11 (8.1 Enterprise).

I understand this is a very generic question, and is almost always environment specific but I have to ask it anyway. Anyone have any recommended switch configs or specific settings that they have had to set to help PXE boot be more successful? I have heard that turning on portfast helps? Any other suggestions?
