portfast is always recommended for switch ports connected to end user devices 
as there is no reason for STP to even consider ports with end with user devices.

Subject: [mssms] RE: Recommended switch configs for successful PXE boot?

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).

Subject: [mssms] Recommended switch configs for successful PXE boot?

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?
