We came into possession of a new Catalyst 2950 switch and not having anything better to do we decided to use it for our build network to replace a tiny netgear soho switch. We just took it out of the box and plugged it in, not knowing anything about these things particularly.

Anyway, it works ok, the only slight issue I've noticed is that when I network boot a PC with RIS, it takes quite a long time to pick up a DHCP address and boot into RIS, certainly much slower than on the old netgear.

I'm sure this is some simple config issue, since like I say we didn't touch it in any way out of the box apart from plug it in. Is this a simple fix or shall I just put up with it, not exactly a show stopper adding like 30 seconds wait time before I can press enter to set off the ghosting.
