Why PXE boot of RHEL7 server connected to Arista switch fails ?
Issue
- When tried to PXE boot a RHEL7.4 server, the interface on the server was blocked by Arista switch.
- Is it like server is sending BPDU packets which could get block on switch level ? If at all yes, which service/component can send BPDU packets ? And how to disable it ?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 PXE boot
- Arista switch with BPDU guard enabled
