Hi all,
I am almost through migrating my old network setup with the new one. The new setup includes redundant routers and switches.
cr01 and cr02 are both RB3011UiAS-RM.
csw01 and csw02 are both CRS326-24G-2S+RM.
The PC is in VLAN 1000 and the storage is in VLAN 1010.
My problem now is that if I e.g. copy a file from the PC to the storage or vice versa the bandwidth is only ~ 150 Mbit/s (15 MB/s) and the CPU load of cr01 is at ~ 50% while the CPU load of csw01 is at about 2%. All the used ports are 1 Gbit/s and I am only using CAT 7 cables.
As soon as I put the PC in the same VLAN as the storage (1010) I get like ~ 900 Mbit/s bandwidth.
To avoid confusions: At first I had a connection between cr01, ether6 to csw02, ether 2 but changed the port on cr01 from ether 6 to ether3 because the router has two switching chips. I wanted to sort that possibility out. I even tried disconnecting cr02 and csw02 completely so that there are only cr01 and csw01 but with the same result.
Please see the image below for a stripped version - the redundant cabling for the devices are still missing.
I also attached the stripped configurations (wihtout DNS, CAPsMAN, address lists etc.) of the routers and switches.
The basic procedure of settings up VLANs have been taken from the post viewtopic.php?t=143620&sid=6be47775823e ... e795e6df15.
I know that routing is more expensive than switching but I highly doubt this is normal. Do I have a configuration issue somewhere?
