Hi all,
I have a pecular problem

i have a setup of 3 linux boxes and a windows pc

boxes A, B, C and a pc are connected in the follwoing sequence


A (eth0)< ----> (eth0)  B  (eth1)< -----> (eth0) C (eth1) <------> PC


1) using ftp I am able to transfer data from B to A both ways, the speeds are around 1.2e
2) I am also able to transfer similarly to and fro from B to PC  via box C

but

3) when i am trying to ftp data from A to PC via B and C to and fro the data transfer speed has drastically come down,
Please note that in both B and C ipforward is enabled.

Kindly help

Thanks in advance,

Vishal Gandhi

hi vishal,

the first thing i'd like to check is if the ethernet cards are running 
in full- or half-duplex mode. AFAIK running one card in half-duplex mode 
and the other trying to force full-duplex mode can lead to lots of 
collisions, so this could be a reason for slow speed.

you could use a hub or switch instead of the crossover cable and watch 
the collision LED (if there is any *g*).

greetings,

ulric

Warm wishes for the new year 2003,
thanks for the reply, i found that there are collission when i use a hub in
between,
How do i make sure that both the ethernet cards are running in half or full
duplex mode,
how do i check if weathere an ethernet is in half or full duplex mode
Thanks in advance
Vishal Gandhi

Could you provide the output from 'ifconfig' and 'route -n' on A, B and
C? This is either a reverse DNS, duplex mismatch or routing problem.

To see if your are full or half duplex, see if ifconfig reports any
collisions on the eth interface - on full duplex you never get any
collisions.

If it takes a long time from you try to connect until it starts 
downloading, you have a DNS problem.

If the download is incredibly slow and one or more of the network
interfaces on A, B or C report a huge amount of collisions, you
have a duplex problem.

Routing problems usually result in not being able to connect at
all, which doesn't seem to be the case here.

I agree with Ulrich, and apparently that may have been your problem.

 : running in half or full duplex mode, how do i check if weathere an
 : ethernet is in half or full duplex mode

You may find that one of the following tools helps you to determine what
your ethernet card has negotiated with its peer:

  - ethtool ( the tool which will probably continue to be maintained and
             supported under linux )
    http://www.gnu.org/directory/sysadmin/Monitor/ethtool.html

  - mii-diag, aka mii-tool, ( one of these two is usually available on
    common distributions available today )
    http://freshmeat.net/projects/mii-diag/

-Martin

Here's some example output from mii-diag and mii-tool:

# mii-tool --help
usage: mii-tool [-VvRrwl] [-A media,... | -F media] [interface ...]
       -V, --version               display version information
       -v, --verbose               more verbose output
       -R, --reset                 reset MII to poweron state
       -r, --restart               restart autonegotiation
       -w, --watch                 monitor for link status changes
       -l, --log                   with -w, write events to syslog
       -A, --advertise=media,...   advertise only specified media
       -F, --force=media           force specified media technology
media: 100baseT4, 100baseTx-FD, 100baseTx-HD, 10baseT-FD, 10baseT-HD,
       (to advertise both HD and FD) 100baseTx, 10baseT
# mii-tool eth0
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD flow-control, link ok


# mii-diag --help
Usage: mii-diag [-aDfrRvVw] [-AF <speed+duplex>] [--watch] <interface>.

   Show the link status of the specified network interface.
   The default interface is "eth0".

   The common usage is
      mii-diag eth0
 Frequently used options are
   -A  --advertise <speed|setting>
   -F  --fixed-speed <speed>
        Speed is one of: 100baseT4, 100baseTx, 100baseTx-FD, 100baseTx-HD,
                         10baseT, 10baseT-FD, 10baseT-HD
   -s  --status     Return exit status 2 if there is no link beat.

 Less frequently used options are
   -a  --all-interfaces  Show the status all interfaces
              (Not recommended with options that change settings.)
   -D  --debug
   -g  --read-parameters        Get driver-specific parameters.
   -G  --set-parameters PARMS   Set driver-specific parameters.
       Parameters are comma separated, missing elements retain existing
value.
   -M  --msg-level LEVEL        Set the driver message bit map.
   -p  --phy ADDR               Set the PHY (MII address) to report.
   -r  --restart        Restart the link autonegotiation.
   -R  --reset          Reset the transceiver.
   -v  --verbose        Report each action taken.
   -V  --version        Emit version information.
   -w  --watch          Continuously monitor the transceiver and report
changes.

   This command returns success (zero) if the interface information can be
   read.  If the --status option is passed, a zero return means that the
   interface has link beat.
# mii-diag eth0
Basic registers of MII PHY #1:  3000 7809 02a8 0154 05e1 0000 0000 0000.
 Basic mode control register 0x3000: Auto-negotiation enabled.
 Basic mode status register 0x7809 ... 7809.
   Link status: not established.
   End of basic transceiver information.

I dont see any collisions when make ifconfig, i feel the problem is in
forwarding the packets by the linux box inbetween the interfaces, it is here
that there is lot of packet loss,

Do you think it to be so

try to keep the frequency of the 2 wireless Aironet cards as far
appart as possible.  then run the test again.

set one card for CH 1 ( or 2412 Mhz )   and the other to CH 11  ( or
  2460 Mhz )

Thank you sir for your suggestion, is there any tool throught which we can
impose the selected frequency on the aironet card.

Because even if i select channel 1 in the Config file, it is setting to
channel 9 any directions in this angle are welcomed.

REgards,
Vishal
