I have installed a new Cisco 3548 Switch. On the switch I set the port that my filer is plugged into to 100 full duplex and I get awefull throughput. I set the port to 10 full duplex and I get better throughput. What is problem here?
Seems to me that the filer and the switch has problems with negotiating port speed and duplex settings.
Mediatype on the network port is not auto. I have tried auto and it does not help.
To me auto always seems to create more problems than not :-( and you have to lock the ports on both sides.
Try this:
filer> ifconfig <ethport> mediatype 100tx-fd
If I read the docs right, you are using the "new" cisco switches with a similar command set as the Cisci routers,
to lock the port in a 100Mbit speed, full duplex, you have to issue a command set kinda like this: (since I have no clue about your milage, I am a bit detailed)
(If you have the access and the enable password, do this yourself or have the network staff do it for you)
% ena # conf t # interface FastEthernet<portnum> # speed 100 # duplex full # end
Then after you have verified an improvement, store the new config with
# write
Hope this helps (always does for me :-) )
