RE: [smartBridges] Single Defer Packets what are they good or bad??

So that confirms that it is 10Mbit half duplex, and it

requires a "good" switch to make that happen, and it

requires everything else talking to it to be 10Mbit half

duplex.

 

So, (Blazen Wireless) when you get your switch, set all

the ports to 10Mbit half duplex and you should see a

drastic difference. (if the theory is accurate..)  :-)

I've got a similar set up, except we are using a Canopy SM as the back haul. Just to be on the safe side I set the SM to 10 half going into the Cisco switch. Our thruput tripled and packet loss is virtually non-existant. We only loose a few packets per 1000+.
FYI : The switch that the Cisco replaced was a NetGear FS-105.

This brings up another question on by Canopy BH I can set the link at either 10, 100 full or half dup should I set it to 10 meg 1/2 duplex as well via the canopy software?

It's my suspicion that this is the exact cause of

the slowdowns. If you have a $200+ switch that can

actually force a port to 10Mbit half duplex and the

rest of the gear you are talking to is faster, that

switch might just have enough buffer in it to prevent

severe packet deferment. But if you are using the

lesser expensive switches or hubs that detect the SB

gear at 10Mbit full duplex, then when the port tries

to talk to the SB gear in both directions at once you

end up with deferred packets.

I am seeing about 8000 on them right now on my main APPO's when reading the description it is vague but does not sound good does this giving any indication that the LAN setting on the switch is not set to 10 Meg 1/2 duplex?

Thanks
