[ipxe-devel] chaining http script over VLAN is very slow

[James A. Peltier]

I have a Dell R730XD which seems to be misbehaving.  When booting off a VLAN it seems that the connection is extremely slow.  The script that is embedded is very simple and after 10 minutes it still hasn't booted to the menu system, which is again very small scripts.  Any idea what I might be able to do to provide you with more information to troubleshoot it?

#!ipxe

echo Hi There!  We will be booting from http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/ today.
echo It is assumed that you have dhcp networking.
echo Here we go!

:retry
vcreate --tag 300 net0
sleep 5
ifconf --configurator dhcp net0-300
boot http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/ufds/menu/bootstrap
