PIX 525 with 5 interfaces
inside
zone1
zone2
zone3
outside

Are my inside and outside interfaces sucking up all my bandwidth or something? Outside shows 4020 packets/sec
inside shows 1002 packets/sec

while zone1, zone2, zone3 are cooking along at less than 20 packets a second...some are as low as 4 packets/sec!!!!

Any help would be appreciated.

just noticed my outside interface plugged into a router is showing this:

interface ethernet0 "outside" is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is i82559 ethernet, address is xxxx.xxxx.xxxx
IP address 10.75.255.2, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit full duplex
451176639 packets input, 3401926197 bytes, 0 no buffer
Received 0 broadcasts, 311636 runts, 0 giants
67524 input errors, 34371 CRC, 33153 frame, 0 overrun, 34371 ignored, 0
abort


Still need assistance, not sure what this is pointing to.

I think this may be attributed to the router 10.75.255.1 being configured as auto-negotiate while the pix is set manually.

I've contacted the router administrator to get the scoop on this. BUT, I don't know if this directly relates to the problem I'm having on the other interfaces.

Yes... You either need to use autonegotiate or static on both ends. You can't have one end us static, because the autonegotiate end will default to 10mb/half duplex.
 
yeah this may be part of the problem...but the oddity is the fact that all of the interfaces on my add-in card are running very slow. While onboard nics E0 and E1 are blazing still.

We're going to fix the outside interface to router sometime today...I don't think it's going to fix the other problem.

We already did a clear xlate, and still slow.
