I have just (generating some traffic here in doing so) added a pair of stacked Cisco 3750-E switches with redundant 10g connections. Right now they are just using etherchannel with default MTU. Once everything else is running properly I’ll try LACP and probably an MTU of ~7500.

 

The only problem I see is it’s VERY easy to burn the CPU  when doing large writes because I have the TOE cards in a VIF…which disables the TOE functionality.

Subject: 10 Gbps curiosity

 

Hi all

 

Reading on superior results reached in certaing environment (NetApp NFS with Oracle ad example) I’m looking for some direct experience and informations about performances, benchmarks, infrastructure used - I mean also exactly model and brand of switches J - and so on. So that, more on the relatively new world of 10 Gbps networks.

 

Does anyone direct experience? Are you using it in your site?

Thanks in advance
