Best way to setup the network
I have added my K2100 to my network but it seems so slow. I have the sytsem connected to a Cisco switch but it is bombarding it. Any suggestions on the best network gear to set this sytem up on?

if this an applicance try hard setting the swiitch port you are plugged into to 1gig full and do the same on the k2100.

Yeah SMal.tmcc is making a very good point here! A resource about performance tuning and scaling that I want to recommend is this one: http://www.kace.com/~/media/Files/Support/KACE-Konference/2011/EMEA/Scaling-Tuning-and-Mass-Deployment-Best-Practices-K2000.ashx
mmeyer@vu.com, when do you see this bad performance? Loading the KBE? During deployment of a SI or Image? - RaSko 12 years ago -
Also make sure you are using a Cat 6 cable - SMal.tmcc 12 years ago
This should be here right ;):

I see the bad performance when deploying the K image. According to dell this should take a hour for one machine. I am see results of up 4 hours on just one system. I am currently working on setting up the WIM images via the KNIT kit and seeing if that is helpful. I have gone through the KBE and updated all the drivers so the KBE works well. I am also in the process of deploying a RSA devices on each VLAN to enhance performance.

Going to wims will greatly help you. you can also place the wims on shares through-out your network instead of creating RSA devices, the script uses the imagex command to deploy the wims so when that process is running (95% of the deployment process) the k2000 is not involved only the machine you are deploying to and server that the wim is stored on.
