Performance error

agrindley
Level 1
Level 1

I have the following extructure.

Router A (3825) connected to a fiber 200 MB (Gigabit Ethernet 0 / 0) with the ISP, a router B (3825) which connects (Gigabit Ethernet 0 / 0) to the router via radio.

The router B has a gigabit Ethernet (0 / 1)with 12 subinterfaces and is connected to a stackswitch 3750 with four switch , performance problems are caused and are continuing the interface 0 / 1 of Router B, and affect all subinterfaces I have lost connectivity and latency to soar.

Researchers found the following, but I can not find how to solve

Someone can help me

Thanks

Hello Alejandro,

a C3825 cannot handle a GE at wire speed.

so the huge errors of type overruns are caused by this.

overrun definition is the following:

Number of times the receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded the receiver's ability to handle the data.

see

So to improve inter-vlan routing performances you need to promote the stack to L3.

Hope to help

Thank you for you explanations. apologize if I understood well your answers

What I do is say that

1. I buy a NM or NME module to 3850 router more able than gigabit ethernet that brings the router (eg NM-1GE, 16 port switch, etc)

2.The switch is who is responsible for Layer 3

I've been watching the performance and I have some doubts, the datasheet says that NM have BW 600 Mbps and MNE 1.2 Gbps BW, I'm going on a 80 Mbps bandwidth on Gigabit Ethernet . What is this door ?.

Your suggestion is to remove the router and use the stack in L3 switch 3750 to route all traffic OR that the switches are responsible for routing traffic to the router B and router B send to router A and here to operator

Thank you for your effort

Like Giuseppe, I suspect the root issue is the 3825s not being able to effectively deal with gig, especially during bursts. The 3825 can't truly handle FastEthernet either, in all situations.

If possible, slow the sending rate of the devices attached to the 3825s. For instance, on the connection between the 3825 and the 3750 stack, run it at 100 Mbps and use the srr-queue bandwidth limit command to slow the interface to about 50% of 100 Mbps. (Adjust up or down depending on the 3825's resulting interface performance.)

On the 3825s, insure there's minimum process switching and attempt to minimize usage of any other services to maximize forwarding performance.

Since you have a 3750 stack, if running it as L2, and performing LAN L3 on the 3825, instead run L3 on the 3750 stack for the LAN. (As also suggested by Giuseppe.) If you only have the base IOS, it still supports both static and RIP routing. Other dynamic routing protocols are supported in the next higher IOS feature set. (I.e. you'll then no longer need the VLAN/subinterface configuration on the one 3825.)
