[ipxe-devel] Additional timeout to image fetch

[Itay Gazit]

Thanks Michael,

I have another timeout question, we found a CISCO switch where the spanning
tree does not forward packets for almost 1min.

I would like to change the DHCP timeout to try 0.5,1,2,4,8,16,32, and few
seconds after quit.

Thanks,

Itay
