Hi there,
Have a CRS317-1G-16S+. A few weeks ago I tested L3HW and was getting ~10Gbps in each direction using iperf3. There are no firewall rules in place, and the device exists for inter-VLAN routing via the bridge.
A few weeks later I'm now testing again and finding that throughput is way lower - more like 700-1000 Mbps. It seems to be hitting the CRS CPU too, so I think L3HW is really not working right now.
The only thing that has been changed in that time is VLAN membership of various ports (i.e. /interface/vlan). BUT on the L3HW documentation page, it does say "It is recommended to turn off L3HW offloading during L2 configuration.". Unfortunately I'm pretty certain we didn't do that before changing the VLAN membership!
Therefore I realise we haven't followed instructions correctly, so maybe this has caused the drop in throughput?
What I would like to know is - how do I remedy the problems that might have been caused by not following the guidance? Can I just do something simple like reboot the CRS device (my preference!)? Or do I need to reconfigure the ports (/interface/vlan) from scratch? Or (worse) do I need to clear the config and start again from a clean device??
Switch is currently running v7.1.4rc4.
Thank you in advance!
Will
