Ubuntu Networking :: Not Getting Gigabit Connection

Aug 24, 2010

I'm running a wired gigabit card using the atl1c driver. It works fine, but I don't get gigabit, only 100 Mbps. I have a gigabit switch and other Ubuntu machines on my network are gigabit. Is there any way this could be a software/configuration issue, or is the only likely explanation that my wires are of sub-par quality somewhere?

Ubuntu :: Gigabit Network Connection Stuck At 100 Mb/s?

Aug 12, 2011

I have a machine with an MSI motherboard and gigabit ethernet. However, it only reports being connected at 100Mb/s. I have tried using ethtool to force the speed to gigabit but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04. Does anyone know a way other than ethtool to set the network speed?

Fedora Installation :: Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Network Connection?

Aug 29, 2011

I installed Fedora 14 on my new PC but I don't have network connection. In fact, I hit the command "lspci" and the prompt return :

Code:
Ethernet Controller : Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Network Connection
So, I created a ifcfg-eth0 file on /etc/sysconfig/network-script because it doesn't exist :

Code:
DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes

Then, I restart network service, but eth0 is down, no device found for the connection eth0.

Ubuntu Networking :: No Speed Improvement With Gigabit NIC / Switch?

Jan 13, 2010

I recently upgraded a server's networking card to a Gigabit NIC, and got a hold of a Gigabit switch (Here's a link) in the hopes of increasing my network performance - however, I'm getting around 10 MB/s throughput now, which is exactly what I used to get with the old 10/100 switch & NIC. The new switch recognizes both computers as Gigabit (the other machine has always had a Gigabit NIC), and both computers say they're gigabit - I've found various sites around the interwebz recommending tweaking some TCP/IP buffer settings, which I have tried to no avail. I also saw that hard drive speed is usually the limiting factor. According to "hdmarp -t", the server HDD (definitely the slower of the two) is:

Code:
Timing buffered disk reads: 226 MB in 3.00 seconds = 75.26 MB/sec

So that's obviously not my issue. The cabling is CAT6 - I ran it myself, but if I'd mis-wired the end connections, wouldn't it just not work at all? I admit, I bought cheap NIC's (I'm not going for like 124.9 MB/s throughput here..), and I didn't expect them to be stellar, but I certainly expected the speeds to improve. I'm moving files from a server running Ubuntu 9.04 to a Windows machine - I've tried both my Samba shares on the server and an SFTP transfer: they both have about the same throughput.

Ubuntu Networking :: Gigabit Card Only Works On 100 MBit

Apr 14, 2010

I have bought two Asus NX1101 gigabit cards for my kubuntu box and ubuntu server box. The cards are automatically detected as eth1. However the speed is set to 100mbit instead of 1gbit.

ifconfig eth1 .....

I noticed that both lshw and ethtool claim that the card does not support 1000mbit. So changing the speed manually with ethtool doesn't work. In windows XP the card works as it should.

CentOS 5 Networking :: Trying To Upgrade To Gigabit

Feb 12, 2010

I am running CentOS 5.3.The NIC on my motherboard does not support gigabit, so I bought a gigabit network card. I installed the network card and configured it via system-config-network. Everything seems to work fine as long as I keep a cable plugged into the original NIC. The original NIC works just fine if it is the only one with a network connection, but as soon as I uplug the original NIC I can no longer ping nor connect to the server via the gigabit NIC.

The original NIC is eth0, the new NIC is eth1. Is there something I need to do to tell the system that eth0 is not required or something? I've never encountered an issue like this before...

Fedora Installation :: Kernel Update Fails Due To 10MB Boot Partition

Feb 23, 2010

Finally updates are broken - I've been able to use my upgraded F12 system for some time, faithfully keeping up with f10, then f11. Just yesterday it finally broke:

Test Transaction Errors: installing package kernel-2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686 needs 10MB on the /boot filesystem

It would appear that the most recent kernel update has broken the 10MB barrier initially set by the version I first installed (for the boot partition). Needless to say, I have quite an investment in this machine, and of course no time to back it all up and do a fresh F12 install. I am hoping someone out there can give me a bulletproof way to steal some space and expand the boot partition...

Ubuntu Networking :: Atheros Gigabit Controller Stuck At 100 Mbps?

Apr 18, 2011

I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.10 64 bit and am trying to get my Atheros AR81xx gigabit ethernet controller to use 1 gbps.I have 2 ethernet controllers, one's a linksys 100 mbps (which is connected to the router which goes to the internet) and the other is the Atheros gigabit controller that is connected to a Windows desktop that has an NVIDIA gigabit ethernet controller (for faster file transfers with a gigabit connection) I've ruled out that the problem is with the desktop as I plugged the windows PC into my macbook (which has a gigabit controller), and both the macbook and desktop report a gigabit connection.

I plug the windows desktop into the server and I only get 100 mbps. I am using a Cat 6 patch cable. I've tried several methods with ethtool to force it into 1 gbps mode, but none work. I've tried using a different cable. no change. I've tried making windows force a 1 gbps connection, didn't have the option to in the driver configuration. Only 10/100 configs. the commands I've tried in ethtool

Code:

ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000

Reports no error, but no effect. I've tried forcing off auto negotiation (I had a hunch it was causing the problem)

Code:

ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off

I get this

Code:

Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument
not setting speed
not setting duplex
not setting autoneg

I tried each setting individually, and autoneg won't set, the others will (but not do anything)

Ubuntu Networking :: Can't Obtain Gigabit Speed With Nvidia MCP79

Jul 27, 2011

I just bought a new router with gigabit ethernet.

However, my HTPC running Ubuntu 10.04 (32 bit) with a Zotac ION mainboard can't obtain gigabit speed. I have tested the cables by connecting my laptop and it gets gigabit speed. I also have a desktop computer that obtains gigabit speed in my network, this one with another Nvidia chipset and Linux Mint 11.

I have tried to boot the HTPC with Linux Mint 11 LiveCD, but it fails to get gigabit as well. I have also tried

Code:
sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000

but it does not succeed in chaingin the speed.

Is there anything I can do to get gigabit speed? I have all my files on the HTPC, so network speed is important!

Here's some info that might be useful:

Code:
christian@htpc:~$ dmesg | grep eth

Networking :: Transfer Rate For Gigabit Ethernet

Apr 1, 2010

We have a Linux box which acts a a file server. Currently, files and directories are exported using NFS.At the moment, we are a bit concern on its data transfer performance. FYI, we are using a embedded Gigabit Ethernet port on the file server. We ran a few simple write tests between NFS client (also utilizes GigE port) and the NFS server. In these tests, both NFS server and client are both connected directly to each other with a Cat5E cable. Unfortunately, the write/transfer speed results are not as per our expectation. It scores roughly about 11-12MByte/s, where as theoretically Gigabit Ethernet transfer rate is able to reach up to approximately 120MByte/s.I wouldn't expect to reach the theoretical max transfer rate (it would be great if we can , but I would appreciate if you guys can share with us in terms of the following :

1) What's the practical max data transfer rate which you guys managed to observe in a normal Gigabit based connection? What about jumbo frames configuration?

2) Is there any additional tuning/configuration we need to do within the OS to reach those practical max data transfer rate figure?

3) Does PCI-e / system bus plays a role in achieving this speed? For example, we are using the embedded GigE port and we heard some people says embedded ports are actually sharing the system bus and resources with other devices, which might adds into performance issue. Correct me if I'm wrong.

4) Does converting to Cat6 cabling will guarantee an increase in the data transfer performance?

5) In the future (once we are clear on how much single GigE transfer rate we can go) , we are looking into doing bonding since that the NFS server's shared directory/volume read-write speed is way much higher (i.e 400-600MByte/s). Will bonding allow us to achieve higher NFS read/write speed? What are the bonding modes best used for this purposes? Appreciate if anybody who has experience in doing bonding for NFS can share their experience.

Ubuntu Networking :: Recommend A Gigabit NIC Which Supports Jumbo Frames (>=9000 MTU)?

Oct 18, 2010

I am looking for a PCI Ethernet adapter which supports jumbo frames. The card I have now - Trendnet TEG_PCITXR - says it supports jumbo frames but it turns out the MTU is 7200 bytes. Yeah this is more than 1500, but it seems like a bit of a scam to me. Since it is nearly impossible to find these specs on product info pages, I was hoping someone could recommend a network card that is proven to support 9000 (or greater) MTU. Some more info, I am running Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-19

Networking :: Gigabit Switch Causing Network To Freeze?

Dec 30, 2010

We have an old Zonet 10/100 switch in our home network that locks up whenever there's a power glitch longer than about a microsecond. (OK. It's not that bad but if the lights flicker, I usually end up going down to the basement to see if the switch is hung.) None of the computers or peripherals are affected by the glitches, BTW. Power-cycle the switch and everything starts working again. After putting up with this for months I finally picked up a Netgear 8-port 10/100/1000 switch to replace the Zonet. Unfortunately, when the Netgear switch is in the network, everything slows to a crawl before completely freezing up. Pinging other systems barely worksname would not work.Pinging another system by its IP address worked a little but packet losses of 70%-80% were the best I saw. At first. Then it gets to where the loss is 100%.

All systems were rebooted after the Netgear switch was inserted into the network. The systems that were capable of gigabit connections autosensed the new switch and set their port speed accordingly. And that's about all that works when the Netgear switch is present. (The Zonet is back in the network now.)One thing I have not tried is forcing the port speed on the gigabit-capable systems to 100Mb and re-inserting the Netgear switch into the network to see if the problem if due to running some of the ports at 1000Mb.The systems on the network are running various versions of Linux (with different kernel versions, of course). Most are due for upgrades to get them current but I was planning on hitting the systems that had gigabit-capable ethernet interfaces thinking that a.) 100Mb speeds have been around forever and no problems have been seen when everything was running at 100Mb in the past and b.) the gigabit support for the older kernels should be better (one system only supports an MTA of 1500 max at 1000Mb).

Networking :: Huge Packet Loss On A Gigabit Link ?

Dec 28, 2010

I have a following configuration: 4 PCs (say, A, B, C and D), running Ubuntu or Debian, interconnected using a gigabit switch, which is connected to the Internet. Two machines (say, A and B) also have a direct private connection between them (provided by another pair of NICs).

Now, when I test the connection performance with iperf, the results vary. The private connection between A and B performs well - about 930Mbps using iperf's UDP test. Between C and D it is about 800Mbps which I find tolerable. Packet loss when running these tests is negligible.

However, when I run iperf between any of {A,B} and {C,D}, the performance significantly drops as there is a huge number of lost packets.

For example, here is the result of testing between A and C:

Why is there such a large number of packets which are generated, but lost somewhere?

A<->B private link works fine, so system level parameters on both A and B are correct. Furthermore, C<->D works ok, so I guess I shouldn't blame the switch.

Is there a per-NIC configuration that I should check or it smells like a hw problem? Problematic NICs on both A and B are of the same type - Allied Telesyn AT2916T.

Ubuntu Networking :: Slow File Transfers (FTP, SCP) With Intel Gigabit Or Atheros WLAN?

Nov 16, 2010

I just installed ubuntu as my primary OS, but I have the disk with XP on it and I don't want to go back, but I need faster network connectivity. I have a T60p with Intel Gigabit jacked into my Gigabit router which also has my desktop (running XP) and my NAS. If I FTP files from my NAS (or SCP), I get transfer speeds around 250-500 KB/s (which is not very fast). On this same switch, from my XP desktop I get transfer speeds around 12 MB/s. I get the same speeds using my 802.11n card (Atheros) as with the ethernet NIC (250-500 KB/s).The drivers for the ethernet card and the atheros card are e1000e and ath9k respectively.I have disabled IPv6. Since the problem occurs using either interface, I am just going to concentrate on fixing it for the Ethernet interface (since I believe it to be a systemwide problem).

Code:

skinnersbane@albert:~$ sudo ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full

[code]....

Clearly my card is running at Gigabit, but why the bad transfer speeds? I am using filezilla for FTP (technically FTPES). I closed every other program. My CPU utilization does seem high and I wonder if this is part of the problem. I had no problems with throughput using either interface in Windows XP just one week ago.
