Network Delay

taha104

Level 1

Iam using Cisco Pix 501. Whenever i use network commands it get some delay in response. For example if I connect to network drive using net use command i get 4/5 second delay then the commands executes. Or if i open my maped drived it get some delay & then the drive opens. Is there any specific reason why we get these delay?

Iam connecting firewall directly to my network which uses DNS for name query. Ours is pure IP network with windows 2003 server DHCP/DNS/Domain Controller. All the switches, routers, Network cards are on Gagabit capacity. Below is the configuration of my firewall:

PIX Version 6.3(4)

interface ethernet0 auto

interface ethernet1 100full

nameif ethernet0 outside security0

nameif ethernet1 inside security100

enable password xxxxxxxxx encrypted

passwd xxxxxxx encrypted

according to the posted config, there is no lan-lan vpn or remote vpn access, so i am assuming the traffic you are having issue with is within the pix inside net.

if so, then pix is pretty much out of the picture. the reason being traffic within the same net will not be processed by the pix at all.

e.g a pc (192.168.1.100) is initiating a drive mapping with a server (192.168.1.200). firstly, the pc will send an arp request in order to obtain the server mac address. once the mac address of the server is avaliable, the pc will then forward the packet directly to the server.

all my servers are located on outside interface with ip address in 10.x.x.x and internal ip address are in 198.x.x.x. Iam trying to map inside client to outside server. Not only the map drive is getting delay but other network commands are getting delay too.

the issue may be related to the pix outside interface speed and duplex.

do "sh int" to identify the current speed and duplex. i believe by applying the keyword auto, it would yield 10 half only, which may not be compatible to the gigabit devices.

e.g.

pix# sh int

interface ethernet0 "outside" is up, line protocol is up

Hardware is ixxxx9 ethernet, address is xxxx.xxxx.e285

IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.101, subnet mask 255.255.255.255

MTU 1492 bytes, BW 10000 Kbit half duplex

pix# conf t

pix(config)# int e0 100f

pix(config)# sh int

interface ethernet0 "outside" is up, line protocol is up

Hardware is ixxxx9 ethernet, address is xxxx.xxxx.e285

IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.101, subnet mask 255.255.255.255

MTU 1492 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit full duplex

I changed the interface e0 from auto to 100full but the problem still exists. Iam still getting the delay for my network commands.

Any other possibility why iam getting this dalay?

Thanks

i was just reading another conversation, and the netpro suggested that the command "sysopt noproxyarp " may resolve odd connectivity issue.
