A fairly common end-user problem is that the default configuration of a switch may leave the port in a non-forwarding state for a substantial length of time (tens of seconds) after link up. This can cause iPXE to time out and give up attempting to boot. We cannot force the switch to start forwarding packets sooner, since any attempt to send a Spanning Tree Protocol bridge PDU may cause the switch to disable our port (if the switch happens to have the Bridge PDU Guard feature enabled for the port). For non-ancient versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol, we can detect whether or not the port is currently forwarding and use this to inform the network device core that the link is currently blocked.
