how to make response time of switch faster?

serenesetup

Level 1

on 3750, when

1. execute ping -t command from a PC to the switch interface vlan 1 ip address,

2. unplug the cable and plug it again,

it takes about 30 seconds to start pinging again.

i disabled the STP protocol and observed that; with the same procedure, recovering ping replies decreased to 3 seconds.

is there any other tuning that i can configure and make response time even faster?

thank you for helping :)

Hi,

Here's a "public" version of the same document that does not require a CCO login. I don't see any actual differences in the two versions of the documents.

Hi,

STP convergence is typically the biggest part of host connection delays. Rather than disabling STP, you can configure "spanning-tree portfast" on the port which will achieve the same end.

Beyond that, some of the response time delays are going to be part of MAC address learning, ARP, and the fact that the switch places a low priority on processing ICMP packets. A better test is to ping from another device _through_ the switch rather than to or from the switch.

Here's a good document that covers various commands you can use to mitigate connectivity delays.
