TFTP Open Timeout

[Shabazian, Chip]

The key is WHEN do you see the traffic.

The NIC gets an IP address for PXEBoot, gets it's info needed via tftp,
then the NIC is RESTARTED, the driver loaded, the request sent again.
It's this second request where we have the timeout issue.

Thanks for the suggestion Chip but this didn't make any difference.

I see traffic between my dhcpd/Kickstart server and client by displaying
the output from tcpdump.

I can't seem to get around this issue.  It appears it is some sort of
timeout either with dhcp or tftp or possibly both.  

Like I stated earlier, I have this new subnet that I am attempting to
Kickstart with no luck.

Thanks anyway.

We have seen this issue on some switches due to the time it takes for
the NIC to negotiate.  What version are you using, and is portfast
turned on at the switch?

You can force the speed and duplex by appending the following to the
kernel boot parameters:

ksdevice=eth0 eth0_ethtool="autoneg=off speed=100 duplex=full" 

Adjust as appropriate.

TFTP uses UDP, so my first assumption would be a firewall, due to the
timeout 
error.  However, I just noticed when you do a getent services tftp it
reports 
69/tcp, which is wrong, its 69/udp
