Not getting 1Gig Internet Speed on SG-4860
-
Yeah well 4860 not doing anything there when your only moving 270... You have 1 cpu that doing a tiny bit of something, see it dropped down from 100% idle to 73.77
Are you running anything on pfsense, like snort or qos? Proxy?
-
You have a very old Coreboot version on there, the current version is:
Version: ADI_RCCVE-01.00.00.17-nodebug Release Date: Mon Sep 18 2017That shouldn't make any difference to throughput though. You can update that from the Netgate Coreboot Update package.
270Mbps seems too fast to be some link issue like mismatched speed/duplex. Check Status > Interfaces for errors though.
Some sort of traffic shaping on there seems most likely.

@stephenw10
No errors on the interfaces
Any quick links to update the coreboot?
Also we don't have any QoS or Proxy or SNORT anything like that running on the network, Which is why this was even more difficult for me to troubleshoot.
We have a very simple network, Only have a few ports open for RDP to servers and rest are block for internal access. Other than that we do not block any outgoing connections to the server.
I have configured the Bell Hub 2000 to create a DMZ to our pfsense firewall.

Just click that under system.
-
If that link isn't there install the package.
-
thank you guys not sure what it was but after updating the Coreboot version and restarting I am now getting more than 700 Mbps speed
-
I don't see how coreboot could of done that - more prob just the reboot?

@johnpoz
I had restarted it multiple times before starting troubleshooting process, nothing worked. I even upgraded to 2.4 from 2.3 that required a reboot as well didn't fix the speed problem, the Bell guys had powered off the device for a couple of minutes while installing their new router. So i don't think the problem was just reboot.Now I just installed the coreboot package, it said install and reboot, I agreed system rebooted and the speed test results were great! Although I will now wait and test back again in an hour or so judging by your surprise and see if the problem is truly solved or not.
-
Well @stephenw10 would be who I would look to for if it could actually have changed something with the performance.
-
Hmm, interesting. I would not have expected that either. That was a very old version though.
I don't recall there ever being an issue that presented like that but maybe with the newer pfSense/FreeBSD version it was tickling something. Nothing in the release notes between those versions that looks significant.Anyway glad you are seeing expected speeds.
