      HI

      Is there any way to diagnose if a sg-2100 switchport is dropping TX packets? Cli commands to see stats for all switch ports fx?

      I have noticed that doing an iPerf test transmitting from a remote Gbit host to a 100Mbit client on a sg-2100 port, results in lots of retries and I can't get it to max out 100Mbit throughput.

      Since the speed stepdown will require the switch to buffer quite a few packets in a 128Kb iPerf TCP session, I was wondering if the Built in marvell switch cannot handle that and drops the packets?

      Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

        Not from the switch chip directly. The only access to it is via etherswitchcfg which doesnt show that information.

        Technically you can read/write the switch registers directly using that but you'd need to know exactly what to read.

        Maybe a flow control mismatch?

          @stephenw10 Thanks for clarifying. I'll look into flow control again, but I could not change the results by enabling/disabling it on the client.
          Since I cannot modify flow control in the switch I have very little control.

            Does the 2100 switch correctly show it's linked at 100M?
