LAN Performance on Supermicro A1SRi-2758F-O with Pfsense 2.3.1
-
Hey all,
I am really struggling with this. I have a Supermicro A1SRi-2758F-O with 16GB of Ram on it running Pfsense 2.3.1. This is with the defaults set on the mobo and no configuration on pfsense just a fresh install. The problem is the most I can push on this boards gig interfaces is the followingIPERF3 = 455mb
SCP = 540mb
RSYNC = 500mbI get 980mb from a VM I have running on an Intel D-1540 which is plugged into the same switch. Does anyone have any special LAN parameters that are needed to get the performance up on these LAN ports?
If I install Centos7 on this same board I can push around 950mb so I dont think its the hardware but I cant seem to get pfsense/freebsd to go any faster than 50% of the capacity of the port.

What is with version 2.2.6 64Bit? Did you also got summaries like this?
This is with the defaults set on the mobo and no configuration on pfsense just a fresh install.
One of the NICs is by default configured to be the WAN interface as a fail over acting one, it is shared together
with the IPMI Port, so please be patient to ensure that this config is changed by you.The problem is the most I can push on this boards gig interfaces is the following
IPERF3 = 455mb
SCP = 540mb
RSYNC = 500mbFor throughput tests only the iPerf or NetIO tests would be counting in my eyes related to the circumstance,
that all other peoples would be able to perform this test with identic hardware too at there lab or own network
environment, to se if they get the same or similar results as you or another user.The test should be running through the pfSense box likes,
PC as iPerf server –- pfSense box ---- PC as iPerf clientI get 980mb from a VM I have running on an Intel D-1540 which is plugged into the same switch.
This is then only telling us that the switch is not the bottleneck in that test!

You can try out to high up the mbuf size of your NICs to 1000000 and see if this problem will be existing
any more or you install the version 2.2.6 (64Bit) and try it out once more again.If I install Centos7 on this same board I can push around 950mb so I dont think its the hardware but I cant seem to get pfsense/freebsd to go any faster than 50% of the capacity of the port.
So ok the Switch and this hardware will be then capable to realize this line speed for sure, but Linux
is not really FreeBSD and vice versa, please accept this. Nice to know it, but for your problem totally
irrelevant.
