Windows Remote Installation Services and
Unattended Installation
Because of the unique architecture of Broadcom NetXtreme II devices, there
are new process considerations when using the drivers in conjunction with
WinRE, WinPE, PXE, RIS and ADS. Dell has provided a specialized driver to
enable complete Remote Installation Services (RIS), WinRE, WinPE, PXE,
and ADS installation of all the drivers and applications in the Broadcom
driver package. For more information, see the document entitled Best
Practices for Installation of Microsoft Windows on Dell Servers with Broadcom
NetXtreme Devices on the Broadcom Driver CD.
Firewalls and TOE
Installing or activating firewall applications disables TOE for all TOE-enabled
NICs in a system. A firewall application must examine all incoming packets
and frames to implement its protection mechanisms. This firewall function is
incompatible with the packet-offload operation of TOE.
Windows Network Bridging, VPN,
and Routing With TOE
If you enable certain networking components in Windows such as VPN,
bridging, or routing services, the Windows operating system also enables
IP NAT and IPSEC Policy Agent by default. TOE will not function with these
services and disabling these services is not enough to re-enable TOE. You
must turn off IP NAT and IPSEC Policy Agent before TOE will function.
Use the following commands at a command prompt to turn off IP NAT and
IPSEC Policy Agent.
net stop accesspolicy <Enter>
net stop sharedaccess <Enter>
net stop ipnat <Enter>
