Enabling PXE on 2900XL

[abarnard]

We have the requirement where we run Intels PXE on Dell workstations. We connect them to a 3COM hub and they are able to connect to the DHCP server to get an IP address. Connecting to a Cisco 2900XL switch, causes the IP address request to timeout.

Anybody implemented this solution before?

Make sure your interfaces connecting to the workstations have

Spanning-tree portfast configured
