Cisco Switching/Routing :: 5020 - Slow Throughput Between Two VLANs
Feb 14, 2012
When transferring traffic between two VLANs my throughput rate seems to drop to about 1.5 - 3.0 megabits / second.
My setup is like this...
Two Nexus 5020 switches. (switch01 and switch02)
Two Nexus 2232PP fabric extender switches. (switch03 and switch04)
Two Dell R815s with Chelsio and Intel NICs. (host1 and host2)
The servers run Xenserver 6.0, but as part of testing with this I've tried installing RedHat 6.2, VMware ESX 5.0 (vsphere 5).
The issue occurs when using trunking and transferring data from one VLAN to another. Example...
VM1 is in VLAN401 with an IP address of 10.100.40.40. The VM is on Host1. VM2 is in VLAN402 with an IP address of 10.100.50.50. The VM is on Host2.
I've been using a network throughput tool called iPerf to test and I find that I can only get a throughput rate of about 3.0megabits.
If I switch VM2 to be in VLAN401 with an IP address of 10.100.40.41 I get a throughput rate of about 6.7gigabits/sec.
In the above scenario, I'm using a Layer3 interface on the Nexus 5020, but in production we use a Vyatta virtual firewall.
I worked with Citrix for about 3 months and that was a dead end.

We've installed cisco devices accross our site in the last year or so and slowing getting on top of it now. How ever our old unmanaged kit seems to be out performing it. It's most like down to my misconfiguration which has lead me to here. Below is the details of hardware and configuration between devices. 3750 Core consisting of the following stacked. [code] I've got MRTG monitoring traffic and the throughput seems to max out 24m/s,

I realize this is just a small business switch, basically a rebranded Linksys, but why I'm only getting 200Mbits/s
- 48 port - 10/100/1000 , set to standalone mode
- 3 separate PCs on this switch , all are fast machines with Core 2 duo / plenty of RAM etc...
- all 3 auto-sense 1Gbps connection
I use iperf tool for bandwidth testing and no matter which PC I pick as server, which as client I get about 150 to 250Mbits/s
I am not looking for full 1000 here, but 200 seems rather sad....
- jumbo frames seem to make no difference
- I am using TCP test in iperf , standard no extra flags , 10 seconds, 20 seconds or even 30 seconds all come out the same.
- wiring is shady as some of it is just Cat5 , but when going from one laptop on the switch to another with brand new Cat6 cables I STILL only got 200.

I have an alert from monitoring system about: “ fan for this system is not in the NORMAL state”. In the switch I found that the problem is with fex 3, see below:
Nexus5020# sh env fex 3 fan
Fan Fex: 3:
------------------------------------------------------
Fan Model Hw Status
------------------------------------------------------
Chassis N2K-C2148-FAN -- failure
PS-1 N2K-PAC-200W -- OK
PS-2 N2K-PAC-200W -- OK
Technician said: fans appear to be operational, BUT the only thing that appears abnormal is STAT light is amber (not sure what it means).
Also, if I compare the temperature from module 3 with module 2 (which doesn’t have an alert) is almost the same, this is why I think the fan is working fine, since module 3 is not hotter that module 2.
What I can do to reset this fan (chassis)?

I have two N5K (5020) switches with NX-OS - 5.0(3)N2(1). These two switches form VPC domain: peer-link = 2*10Gb ports (1/17-18) and peer-keepalive link over managements ports.Also I have two HP servers with two 10 Gb ports on each server.Each server conected by one link to each N5K switch (1/9-10). N5K downlinks configured as access ports with LACP Active mode.There is only one VLAN (1).When "no shut" command entered on N5K access ports - ports going in "not connected" status, begin flap and then going in "linkFlapErrDisabled" state.In attach - "sh run" from N5K.

We have two Nexus switches in our network, one of them is Nexus5020 other Nexus5596UP. System image is identical on both switches 5.2(1)N1(4). When we try to setup VPC between these switches we see that all configured vlans on VPC peer link between Nexus switches are blocked by spanning tree protocol with message "Bridge Assurance Inconsistent, VPC Peer-link Inconsistent". We still can't solve this problem.

I'm trying to create a vpc between a Nexus 5010 and Nexus 5020 switch. I recently upgraded the software so they are running the same version. I connect get a vpc link. Is there something wrong with my setup? Is a vpc between a 5010 and 5020 even possible? They are connected using a pair of Intel X520's in 802.3AD teaming mode. [code]

I have a customer who is having some issues with 5m passive HP twinax cables, 537965-001, with a Chelsio 10G NIC. Aside from NIC driver issue, if NX-OS recognizes this SFP+, should it be expected to work in a 5020 running 4.2(1)N1(1)? Whether Cisco has certified passive HP twinax cables? I have included output to 'transceiver details' to a Cisco twinax and the HP (WL GORE) cables.

I have two NAS drives directly connected to my router. I am accessing them through my XP laptop's wireless connection. I am trying to copy a large volume of data from one to the other (28Gb).The problem I have is throughput. I am barely getting 250Kb/s from one drive to the other.Is there a way to speed this up?

I am facing a problem on a 2811 router. The CPU is remaining around 60% and the router throughput is reaching at most 18 MB while according to the data sheet the 2811 maximum throughput is 61MB. I have checked the output interpreter in order to try and figure out the cause of the high CPU and to determine if it is affecting throughput but there are not processes consuming more than 10%. I have attached the show tech-support and the show process cpu history outputs.

I have found recently that Cisco 1905 router is having a throughput of only 10 Mb. But the router is having 2 Gig ports!.My understanding is that throughput is the data packetforwarding done by a router at a time.
What is actually mean by throughput of a router. How the router can handle 1 Gb of data from interfaces at a time?

We have a problem with the throughput over etherchannel in LACP with 2 or 4 ports. It is iSCSI traffic (vmware esxi 4.1 U3) is going from 2 separate NICs (ports) to the etherchannel (with 2 or 4 ports) that has a SAN connected (Nexenta).
The SAN is configured in passive LACP and the switch is in active LACP. Actually it does not matter if we do LACP or just MODE ON, still same result: ~1GBit/s throughtput in either direction. Like already mentioned, 2 or 4 ports in the etherchannel make no difference, or the configuration of the etherchannel.
I will post some config data below, but here is the question: Why can't we see traffic beyond 1GBit/s? Source and destination are capable of doing much more than that (vmware esxi RAID 5 of 1TB SATA; SAN 16 x 1TB NL-SAS). If we look with CNA, we can see that the traffic is balanced equally over the etherchannel ports. With or without QOS or flowcontrol, no difference. This whole traffic happenes on this switch.

I am currently using catalyst 4506 L3 switch and 2950 L2 switches for pc's which are EOL. I am replacing L3 with 3750X, two switches in a stack. L2 is 2960S all with gbps ports. I have to have a baseline (performance comparison with the current setup and new setup) and I am using the following methods
1. Iperf throughput comparison among local vlans
2. Iperf throughput comparison with remote data centers servers.
3. Ping/ftp upload/download comparison with remote DC's. FTP file is around 3GB.
Today I have tested the above with the new setup and compared it with the old setup. For the tasks 1 & 3 I found better performance with the new setup. However the task 2 did not show any performance increase infact the throughput was much lower comparing to the old setup.

I see the throughput of a ISR is 296.96 Mbps how would this compare to a 3560 if the figure is 38.7Mpps?
What would the throughput of a 3560 be in Mbps?

I'm having a throughput problem with a new ASA 5540 running version 8.2 (1). When trying to access a database server using tcp port 1521 (sqlnet) it is about 10 to 20 times slower than when the database is not behind the firewall. We've been running the same software on a database behind an ASA 5520 running version 8.0 (3) with no problems for years. When I check the cpu usage on the 5540 at the ASDM home page, it is rarely above 20% and never above 30% while this is being tested. I tried testing ftp throughput over the same interface and it was normal with ~320 Mbps average rate transferring a 500 MB file.

I recently setup our small office network using the following setup:
Cablemodem <--> router <--> 1231AP(role root bridge with wireless clients) <-> 1231AP(role non-root bridge with wireless clients)Code on both APs: 12.3(8)JEE.Office network generally has less than 3 wireless clients connected at any one time to either AP. AP's are a mere 50' apart; clients are all less than 30' from either AP; they all show excellent signal and connected at 54mbps signaling rates.
All is/has been working very well & very stable with the exception of speed. We have business class service from RR, approx 25mbps dl, 2mbps ul. Any hardwired client to the router switch ports are able to download at speeds averaging 23mbps. Any wireless client connected to either AP is never able to exceed download speeds of 5mbps. With no other wireless clients connected except my one test client, I was not able to exceed 5mbps throughput from either AP that I connected to.
I can confirm that the ethernet connection between the router and root bridge is up at 100mbps-FD and not showing any errors: [code]
Are these very slow thoughput speeds normal of this hardware combination?I did much searching/googling and found claims that by eliminating TKIP it almost doubles the actual wireless speeds our clients can obtain.

I am experiencing slow throughput on a L2L IPsec tunnel that we have between one of our offices on the west coast (WC) US and another on the east coast (EC) US. The tunnel endpoint on the WC resides on a 5510 and a 5545x on the EC. The DIA circuit speed on the WC is 45 Mbps and 200 Mbps on the EC. The throughput of this IPsec tunnel is maxing out at approx. 4 – 5 Mbps. The utilization of the DIA circuits at both offices is under 5% when running various FTP test transfers. Both devices have low memory and CPU utilization.
We have a 2nd office on the EC (45 Mbps DIA) which I built a tunnel on a 5510 with the WC office and it is experiencing the same slow throughput. In covering all my bases we have a colocation facility on the WC and in building a tunnel between the 2 WC offices I WAS seeing close to full line rate speeds over the tunnel. Additionally, I built a tunnel between the 2 EC offices and I saw full line rate speeds. With the physical distance between the WC & EC offices I would expect some loss in throughput speeds but I would not expect it to drop as low as 4 – 5 Mbps. In thinking something may be up with the 5510 in our WC office we shipped a 5505 to the WC office and we built the same IPsec tunnels on it and it is experiencing the same.
In working with our support vendor to try and solve the WC <-> EC throughput issue they had me change the MTU, TCP mss, DF-bit, types of encryption/hash on the IPsec tunnel but nothing has resolved it. We are not showing fragmentation or PMTU issues on the tunnel. In contacting the ISP of our WC office they mentioned that they do not have any type or rate limiting in place. Our WC ISP had a CCIE review our configurations but nothing was found.

I'll have to replace an old WS-C3550-24. Reasons for this: EOL/EOS & we'll need a NAT capable device...
As I understood, the only L3 catalyst that is able to perform NAT is a 6500? Is that correct? If the above is correct, it seems I can only replace the setup by using a router/ASA with a L2 switch. A router with high throughput (+/- 300Mbps) is hard to find, especially as NAT will require CPU resources...
So, my best (affordable price) solution is getting an ASA5520 (450Mbps FW throughput) and a L2 switch?

I'm trying to identify a Cisco router that will give 300+Mbps through a 1Gb WAN port. I think the 1921 can get up to around 300Mbps with the on board RJ45 ports, but are there any other/better suitable models?
There's no need for any other particular functionality or feature set, the routers aren't doing anything fancy or unusual - it's the achieved throughput that's important.

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've just upgraded to FIOS quantum service. (50 MB down, 25 up). I have a Linksys 2500 connected to the FIOS router. The FIOS (ActionTec) router provides the full advertised speeds with any speed test service I try. But with the 2500 connected to the FIOS router I get download speeds about 3MB. The MTU on the linksys is 1500. It's connected correctly and is running it's own DHCP server. (Why am I doing this? I try to avoid the ActionTec routers, they have broken many services in the past.)The 2500 firmware is up to date. I've tested on the wireless and wired (ethernet) interfaces.

upgrading our small office network. We currently have about 75 employees with probably 125 devices on the network. I'd like to create about 10 vlans for the different departments and then configure intervlan routing as needed. Currently we have all unmanaged switches and it's just a huge broadcast storm on the network. We are upgrading our Cisco 800 router to an ASA5505 sec. Plus license. I need some recommendations on switches. Of course, this needs to be done as cheap as possible.... Is there a way to use the ASA to configure all the vlans and intervlan routing and access lists and use a cheaper switch to provide the access layer to hosts?

I have the following config using a Cisco 1921. I am trying to get devices on the the native VLAN to get internet access via the gateway x.x.x.73.Any thing being routed from the other Vlans 15/20/30 can get access, but nothing from an internal IP address. Is there something I am missing.
The Xs replace the same 3 octets for each interface.I am trying to route from VLANs 15/20/30 to see VLAN 5. I have tried a few things, in terms of adding extra ip routes, but can't get anything to work. Each of those Vlans have another router on the other side of them, which I have also tried adding ip routes too, but nothing. One of the routers (Vlan15 is a Draytek 2830). [code]

I have purchased these two switches from ebay as a test lab, I plan to connect them up via a gigastack modulecable and enable ip routing on the c3550 and vlans to talk to each other.
I'm very much a procurve person and really need to get into the cisco switching.I will want to trunklacp between the switches - whats the process is setting that up on cisco switches?

I am setting up a vm environment for a customer in my lab off site. I have two stacked 3750-x switches, a san, and threes UCS c220 M3S servers for hosts. I am trying to separate the lan traffic, san iscsi traffic, and san management traffic using vlans. The problem is i'm unable to communicate cross vlan with my current config, which I have attached to this post. The only noteworthy things in my conifg is that the ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.83.6 is referring to a switch stack they have on site, that I will connect this stack to using the first two trunk ports on each switch, that I do not have here in the lab. I don't want to cause any confusion in why I have things set a certain way.
