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 net stop sharedaccess net stop ipnat Installing Broadcom NetXtreme II Drivers and TOE 7
