Cisco Routers :: RVS4000 - How To Achieve Maximum Data Throughput
Oct 15, 2012
what the maximum Data Througput can be for this router. Right now, the router is limiting my internet speed compared to what the cable modem can provide..So far, I know that when I connect my computer directly to the output of the Motorola Cable Modem and run a Speed Test on my Charter cable connection, the test shows ~ 50 Mbps for downloads and ~5 Mbps for uploads. That would be great, but I have multiple computers and need to use a router/gateway to feed my LAN. When I insert the RVS4000 router between modem and computer, the Speed Test results drop to ~ 16 Mbps for downloads and remain ~ 5 Mbps for uploads. During that test, there were no other computers online via the router. While 16 Mbps is not shabby, I would like to achieve the full value... is that possible?
Is the RVS4000 unit capable of 50 Mbps for 30 Mbps? How do I setup the router to achieve the maximum available download speed?There is a setup page for the router which has settings right now set at 50000 Kbps Upload and 60000 Kbps for Download; this implies to me that the router is capable of such speeds.
When WAN traffic meter is enable on RV180 router maximum throughput drops to 40Mbps from ~120Mbps.Enabling WAN traffic meter is needed to get SNMP data from WAN port.
My RVS4000 router freezes up when a lot of data is being pushed through the Ipsec tunnel. Let me explain in detail.
On physical location A, I have an RVS4000 router (with IP 192.168.3.1) which is permanently connected with a WRVS4400 router (with IP 192.168.1.1) on physical location B. The Ipsec tunnel has been configured using the Easy Setup Wizard of Cisco and has been working fine and stable for months. Both routers have another Ipsec tunnel with another WRVS4400 router (with IP 192.168.2.1) on physical location C, but this router does not play a role in the problem below.Recently, I’m trying to set up a remote backup service between physical location A and B using “rsync”, which uses port 873. Due to the Ipsec/VPN tunnel, I could configure rsync to move the backup files from our NAS on location A (NAS has IP 192.168.1.2) directly to location B (NAS has IP 192.168.3.2). Both NAS-devices are of the brand Synology (DS211J). The Ipsec tunnel guarantees that the data is coded and thus secure.
However, when pushing the first batch of data, I noticed that the router on the receiving end (RVS4000) freezes up after approx. 1,5h after the batch has started, which is after approx. 1 gigabyte of data has been transmitted. The connection with the WAN is lost, also the VPN-tunnel is not working, I cannot ping the device or reach its configuration pages (on 192.168.3.1), the only option is unplugging it and letting it reboot. I’m thinking the router cannot deal with the huge amount of data that needs to be decoded. I tried 5/6 times, with always the same result (timing / amount of data pushed through before router freezes varies slightly).
If I have the IP ACL firewall enabled in my RVS4000 I have trouble connecting to specific websites and also connecting to Apple's update servers. The problem appears to be that the firewall is blocking incoming data to the ephemeral ports even when they are allowed in the firewall rules. I've also tried port forwarding rules but the only thing that resolves the problem is to disable the firewall entirely, which is not the desired resolution. The firmware version is 2.0.27.
We are looking at providing an ISR 819 for one of our customers using FTTC & 3G for failover .. However, I cant seem to find any recommended throughput guidence for the device? We could be looking at up to 80Mbps via the ethernet interface and I just dont know if the device will cope?
Am looking at purchasing a router that is capable of serving a WAN bearer at up to 1Gbps. The 3945E has had good reviews as a high throughput router but the datasheets suggests performance of 350Mbps. It also states that additional performance can be ensured by adding SPE modules. Whether the 3945E could achieve up to 1Gbps with SPE modules?
If the 3945E can't achieve such performance, The key features I am after are:
IPV4 and IPV6 support L2tpV3 support BGP IP SLA 1Gb Copper Connections on-board with capability of at least 4 Ports
I have a asa5580 with multiple interfaces. To replicate me databases to another site, I mainly use two interfaces on that firewall. Those interfaces have a steady pace, around 95%.
I am wondering when I should consider that the thoughput between those two interfaces is too much? Is there a good document that could explain me clearly why?
Also I want to be sure that I won't affect the normal traffic between the other interfaces. Is there a way to garantee certain traffic over others on an ASA? I don't have any router in me setup layer 3 role is perform by asa firewalls (static routes).
Does anybody know the Maximum Throuput of a Csico 4948 using its Layer 3 capability? Is it 72mpps for Cisco 4948 and 102 mpps for Cisco 4948 10 Gigabitethernet?
We are experiencing output drops on our 3750G-12S (IOS 12.2.55).
I have monitored throughput with MRTG, but it doesn't seem that high compared to that the 3750G is supposed to handle 17.8 Mpps.
The 3750G's are stacked, running ospf, qos, multicast (IPTV) and etherchannel.Is the maximum throughput reduced by stacking or any of the other features?
I don't know if one can estimate what the maximum throughput is per ASIC or per port, but on one of the ASICs that is having drops the peak unicast load is 1.3 Mpps and multicast Mpps is 0.9 Mpps. Total ~2.2 Mpps.
This doesn't seem high at all and I don't understand why the drops are appearing. What I can do to find out the reason for these drops?
I'm using E4200 (fw 1.0.03) as AP and EDIMAX 6675nD as a client. I can't get over ca 10MB/s data througput even there aren't any other communication loads. Test conditions are: 5GHz band, no other networks in the band, distance 2m without any obstacles, no other data transfers (except the test), data source is NTB on GLAN port of Linksys, data sink is NAS at GLAN port of Edimax, test file is 0.5GB file. The NTB and NAS doesn't seems to be a bottleneck, because NTB connected directly to the Edimax does over 50MB/s. Both the E4200 and 6675nD are (should be) capable of 450Mbit/s @ MCS23. Strange thing is that none of them allows setting of MCS23 in their manual settings. It ends with MCS15. While forcing the E4200 to a specific MCS (in the hidden wireless_advanced menu) the MCS15, 14, 13 and auto give very similar results. The throughput drops by MCS 12 and lower indexed MCSs.The 10 MB/s seems to be a low number.... and (based on internet forums) I'm not the only one fighting the magic number 10MB/s. What is the reason of the ca 10MB/s bottleneck? And the resons why both of the routers are quiet about the MCS16 to 23 schemes in their menus, while their labels aren't?
I have 2 internet connections in my office one via Verizon Fios and another one via the local cable company. On the fios connection I have an RV042 VPN router and on the Cable company connection I have an rvs4000 router, I would like to know if there is a way I can connect the 2 so I can share a printer I have on one of the 2 networks from the other network without using the VPN feature, like via an ethernet cable connected between the 2 and some kind of static route maybe?
which 800 series routers allow 20 Mbps throughput across the WAN port? I have a cable modem that outputs this speed but am having difficulty finding a router that will accept this throughput across the WAN port.
My RV110W is only a few months old and apparently started ginvg me issues shortly after I got it. Since it was new, however, I only recently suspected it as the culprit!
I have a simple home/small business setup. A single PC wired into the lan and a handful of occasional use laptops & Android phones/tablets and a Playstation.My connection is a 30M down / 5M up cable link. I have a UBEE DOCSYS 3.0 cable modem operating in passthru mode to my RV110W.
Over the course of several days, thruput drops from the measured 30/5 down to as low as 1/whatever. Rebooting the RV110W restored full speed. The UBEE has never been rebooted during this time. Connecting my wired desktop PC directly to the UBEE modem give me the full 30 downlink speed even when the RV110W perfomance has dropped to 5 or even 1.
I am using onle a single wireless LAN, no logging turned on, no VPN, no other 'tuning of settings.As it is, this device must be rebooted every few days to restore full network speed. This is unacceptable, of course - especially from a small business class device!
I have one AP541N and need to extend the wireless network with a second wireless AP. Which models of AP can I use with the AP541N to achieve a 'cluster', please? Is it just with a second AP541N or can I use other Cisco APs to achieve the cluster?
Am I correct in thinking that doing this will allow wireless clients to 'roam' seamlessly between the two APs?
I'm planning on building a gaming computer and I don't want it to run on my wireless network which is in the basement. I have absolutely no experience with networking, and I need setting up a gigabyte network and trying to reaching 1GB of speed. I have heard of gigabyte networks and what gigabyte networks are and how to achieve 1GB of speed.
Ive set up a rvs4000 with two vlans, one as a bussiness network and the other as a guest network. Everything works fine and the networks can not see each other. I would like to add wifi and I would like to do so with keeping both networks separate. I have a used 1130AG access point and was wondering if I could use this single AP for both networks. If so, how would I go about doing so? Is there a better suited AP for my needs?
I have an RVS4000 running V2.0.2.7 firmware that gives me an "Invalid Character(s) Found" error message when I try to edit an existing ACL.
I'm trying to deploy 57 of these routers and would like to be able to use a pre-built config dropped onto each router.
I initially planned on editing the exported config with a find&replace for my local LAN addresses. Since that didn't work the next reasonable solution would be to edit the ACL list (much more tedious, but still better than hand-entering every ACL on all 57 devices).
when this bug will be addressed? Alternatively, if there is an offline configuration editing tool I would be one happy camper to have it!
I have an RVS4000, not installed. How can I tell from the unit or the packaging that it is a v1 or a v2, without installing and switching it on (which I don't want to do now) ? Are v1 branded Linsys and v2 Cisco ? Can you tell from the date on the package (mine says copyright 2011) ?
I don't know if my vendor mislead me, but I need to do this: There is a public subnet in my office, not a 192.168.x.x, but a real Public IP.The reason is that we do VOIP and those are only servers. I installed a RVS 4000 in that location, and assigned a PUBLIC Ip to BOTH the WAN and LAN, since when I connect from outside, using either QickVPN or another identical router, I need to be assigned one of the PUBLIC Ip's on the remote LAN. That is the whole idea of the project, to locate servers remotely and make them use our set of PUBLIC IP's. Well, so far I cannot connect either with the Quick VPN client, or using the VPN Wizard. It goes and creates the tunnel, without error, but when I click test, it fails.
We have backup and other traffic over our vpn which is affecting our ip phone service between two sites. Our consultant suggested implementing QOS over the VPN to give the phone traffic priority. Is this possible with the rvs4000. Is there any good source saying how to do it. Is the setup of the QOS on this router similar to another router where this has been discussed.
I am getting ready to setup an RVS4000 so we can use the VPN functionality of it, but I am not quite sure of the correct way to integrate it into our network though. I do not need site to site, just the client portion of it for a few salesmen/off site people to use. I have never used or setup a VPN before, so I'm learning everything as I go along.
We are in the middle of switching our ISP and I am waiting to set this up until the new service is live so I can test it prior to moving the rest of the company to the new ISP.
We are switching to Comcast, and will have 5 static IP's available to use. Currently, the firewall does all our NAT and is the forward facing device on our network. I would like to leave the firewall in place (although I am setting up a new firewall for the new internet connection) and have th RVS 4000 sit behind it and receive VPN traffic from a WAN to LAN rule We currently have a 192.168.100.0/24 network.
Do I need to setup another /24 network for the VPN to function behind (and still have access to the 100.X network), or is there a way to allow everyone who connects to receive a 100.X ip address from our DHCP server. I'm not sure how to set everything up with the WAN/LAN connections on the RVS4000 to acheive this.
We are running a domain on a 2008R2 server. The clients will be using laptops that are already part of the domain, if that will make a difference.
I'm trying to setup a VPN tunnel between a Cisco RVS4000 on our side and a Cisco ASA5520, to connect a machine on our local network to a test server on the target side.
We have all the settings setup correctly and the tunnel is up and running, however, our local machine can't connect/ping to their server. I've tried a trace route both from the machine and from the RVS4000 itself, and they both get stuck after getting past 192.168.1.1. Is there any routing or NAT-ing that I need to do on our router? Or is there a problem somewhere else?
I'm having an issue with a Linksys RVS4000 which doesn't appear to be behaving as I think it should.I need to forward a port (Single Port Forwarding) through to an internal NAT host. However, I only want that host/port to be accessible from one host on the internet, for security reasons.
I have created the port forwarding entry and this works fine. I then created two rules in IP Based ACL - one to block all access to that port from the WAN interface and one to allow access from a single host.
However, it appears that when a port forwarding entry is added, it will completely bypass the ACL and allow all traffic for that port/host by default.Is this the correct behaviour?
I'm currently dealing with a weird problem on a Cisco RVS4000. I'm trying to connect to a IPSEC VPN Gateway (NETASQ) located on the LAN side of the RVS4000. I'm using Green bow vpn client on the WAN side of the RVS4000. Basically I'm trying to get through the RVS.My VPN config is OK because i tested it on the LAN side of the RVS.
The RVS is configured like this: NO VPN configured. Block WAN Request :OFF FIREWALL,IPS,DDOS are OFF
NAT forwarding on for UDP 500 and 4500 directed from the wan to the ip of the VPN gateway. Seems right because iv managed to do this with other routers (different brands) on another site.I've wire sharked my vpn client and i keep getting ICMP destination unreachable (PORT UNREACHABLE) after my ISAKMP launching packet.Can the RVS nat these ports ?
I've been trying to disect this problem for a few months to no avail. The router allows me to connect to outside FTP only when IPS is enabled. The moment I disable the IPS functoin, the connection hangs and does not connect to a server. Reason I'd like to keep IPS disabled it is because it's eating up half of bandwith when enabled.RVS4000
I currently have 2 WAN links, a 20MB Ethernet BGP MPLS and a bonded T1. I have a 2800 at each end configured to automatically fail over to the T1 in the event that the MPLS goes gown. I put a high AD on the T1 connection with static routes. If the MPLS goes down the T1 does kick in, however users are dropped from their applications and VOIP calls are disconnected.
I was looking into Fat Pipe appliances and they supposidly will fail over a connection without any packet loss - therefore not dropping a VOIP call or kicking anyone off the database application. In addition they will provide aggregated bandwidth.
Is there any way to achieve a similar failover without packet loss with just the routers? Do I really need to purchase the Fat Pipe to achieve this? Are there any alternatives?
