Hello folks,
I figures i post on here to pick on your brains to see if there is a solution to the problem I am having. Basically, I have setup the PXE server that is located on 3650G Switch, and it is under VLAN10 which is on the private LAN network of 10.1.1.0. However, the issue I found is that while hte VLAN10 is default network thoughout the network with additional VLANs on it, it seems the forwarding is not enabled til around 38 to 45 seconds later, which is pretty too long for the PXE to initialize on the server to access the DHCP and then fetch the bootloader. One note, I did searched though the previous discussions and none of whwt I found have worked so far on resolving the issue I am facing here for it. Plus, the VLAN 199 is able to ping and access Ips on VLAN10 which is set for PXE environment.
Here is the setup I have from the CIsco 7600 with Upstream Routes and BGP information removed along few other sections:

ATLtor2-3560#
When I tested it with other switch with nohting configured on it as far VLAN or anything else, just straight dumb switch, it was able to boot by PXE quickly without any problems. Just it seems that from Router's DHCP or by Linux/WIndows DHCP over the VLAN10/VLAN199, it does not pick it up at all due to port forwarding not enabled in time for the server to get the DHCP Welcome message to start booting.
So is there any solution on this problem here, since I read somehwere that it might be due to Spanning Tree issue and the long initializion for port to be initialized when it detect connection.
