I was wondering if it was against the rules to ask this alias about their experience with 100BaseT and filers.
1. What switch do you use?
2. What clients do you use on 100BaseT?
3. What filer and how much disk and NVRAM?
4. If you have ever done performance tests against the filer, what type of tests are you running, and roughly what results are you seeing?
5. Are you running with autonegotiation on:
(1) filer (2) clients (break out by vendor as necessary)
If you disabled auto-negotiation, why? What were the symptoms?
6. Have you experimented with half and full duplex and matching end to end?
7. Has anyone engaged in or worked with a client vendor in client-side tuning? What was your experience?
8. How many are looking at moving in the future to installing on the filer:
(1) ATM (2) Gigabit Ethernet (3) FDDI :-)
I'll try to pitch in my experiences after some feedback. I hate affecting the experiment too much.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot!
