We have our switches set for "spanning-tree portfast" and have not had an issue
with stateful installs on the R640 and UEFI.

I am troubleshooting an image load issue on a new install.
When attempting to download the diskless image / hostname.uefi file, the client
returns "Connection timed out
(https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ipxe.org_4c0a6012&d=DwICAg&c=CRKael6LgVt5xjvyqPD27dPR2eKsAMw5_UGvkEk3eUY&r=Am91YONzH6JLZR4o83toyw&m=CxT8cDaooh7UlnAD37O06zM3WcmCFSJ3ccRpcLzOm8U&s=nPaMQ4D_YRhmMtSo0N4uoQqVTmMoniFY3l7FoyjW_FA&e=
)"
In the past we've had this sort of issue with spanning-tree running on the
switch.
We have configured the switch with all ports set to "spanning-tree rstp
edge-port"
xCAT is running in a VM on a Dell R640 Red Hat Virtualization host.
The client compute node is a Dell C6420
The client NIC is a BRCM GbE 4P 5720-t rNDC

I had what sounds like the same issue on a Dell 6420. We had to update the
bios and use BIOS boot mode instead of UEFI.
