      Hi folks,

      I have a problem ive got a 4Gig LACP LAGG interface however the performance is bad until i enable Hardware Large Receive Offloading then i can get Gig Speeds across the VLANs 110mbps when disabled i only get around 55mbps but issue is when enabled and disabled i find the internet drops out then comes back on although WAN stays connected, another issue i have are Errors in and out, when i have Hardware Large Receive Offloading enable errors in and out stacks up but when disable the errors don't count up as bad.

      Hardware im using, Intel S1200BTLRM, 4GB RAM, Xeon 1220L v2. CPU is not maxed out. Using onboard and PCI-E HP NC360T for 4 Port Lagg. Cisco SG300-28. Virtualization Server is also the same hardware with 32GB of RAM and Xeon 1220 V2, Storage Server is also the same hardware Xeon 1220 v2, 32GB and loaded with disks. All Servers have 4Gig LAGG.

      Thanks.

      Jack.

        I assume you mean 110MBps/55Mbps (Mega Bytes per second) here?

        How are you testing? Do you see that same throttling on any type of test?

        Where are the errors you're seeing exactly?

          Correct yes. This is on transfers using NFS.

          Errors in and out on the interface.

            Try running netstat -i at the CLI to see errors on each interface in the lagg. You may have a bad link/NIC in there.

            That error count in not significant though. I doubt it's contributing to the issue.

              @stephenw10 said in LACP LAGG Poor Performance & Errors:

              netstat -i

              Here is the output of netstat. looks like the issue is on em1?

                Yes, possibly. Try disconnecting that or removing it from the lagg.

                851 is not a huge number though.

                  Errors seems to go when i remove the 4th Port, if i only assign 3 Ports it is fine i have tried different Network Cards and still the same problem. Ive tried a HP 364T on different hardware and tried different cabling still the same problem.

                  FreeNAS and XCP-ng has 0 errors and have the same hardware.

                    Hmm, odd.

                    Do you see the expected throughput when there are no errors?

                      Nope. i am limited to only 50 to 60mbps until i enable Hardware Large Receive Offloading then i can get way over 100mbps without any issues except errors then just stacks up and internet drops out when that is enabled.

                        I assume you are enabling LRO globally. It is actually added/removed from all the interfaces involved here?

                        What does ifcofig -a show?

                            Yeah so no LRO on any em interface or on lagg0 or any VLAN on it.

                            So what happens when you enable it? Which is pretty much never required normally.

                            How does it fail?

                              @stephenw10 if I enable it. I get great speeds 110mbps but after so long the Internet drops out then comes back up. WAN isn't disconnecting tho but with it disabled the Internet seems fine. When it is enabled the errors are Pilling up. What do you suggest?

                                The Errors have always happened I tried different hardware such as motherboards, cpus, ram etc and network cards but always had issues with error in and out on the Lagg.

                                  Hmm, well I would first try to find why you lose the WAN. What actually happens at that point?

                                  Is it only WAN you lose?

                                    No. Everything on the network. Can't connect to webmail on my Mail Server which is on the same network when it happens. WAN is in a Vlan on the Lagg interface.

                                      OK that sounds more like it's exhausting something. mbufs maybe. That would likely be shown on the console.

                                      It certainly should log something.

                                        I set the mbufs to 10000 as recommended on the Tuning guide. So you think I should enable LRO then look at the logs?

                                        It is just strange when LRO is enabled the errors are just counting up.

                                          mbufs should be set to 1000000 unless you have low available RAM.

                                            That is what I've done. Machine has 4gigs of RAM but only 35% is used.
