We are trying to netboot a 3040 because it has no root volume yet. We downloaded the netboot image for 7.2.4, put it on a local webserver, used ifconfig in the boot loader to assign an IP and told it to boot off the http image. According to the webserver logs it was fetched, but the netboot client never finishes, printing dots (........) forever, we let it go overnight. We'll open a support case soon if needed because we need to get this rolling, but does anyone have any tips? Thanks.
Thanks to all who responded, I got some private replies too, at least one of them reminding me to try tftp, which worked. I have no preference between the two, and I'm used to loading code over tftp for network devices but I was thrown off by the http download attempt never finishing. I tried http first for the novelty of it.
