I have a pix 515 and we seem to be having a problem with it stealing some of our bandwidth. I have connected my latop straight to the t1 and have gotten full speed, but when connected to the firewall we only get 1256kb/s down. (on the laptop i got about 1450 kb/s down).

I am no cisco expert, but can change a config to make it work.

Is there anything in this config that would be slowing down the internet?

We have a cavalier t1.

Thanks in advance!

thats only a 194kb difference. looks like you set up a vpn tunnel to a remote host...that could be the reason, its called over head
 
I have removed those tunnels/vpns as we were not using them. I ran a sh int and it shows me this.

I don't think those tunnels are causing the slow down. Sometimes its much slower then 200k.

How do I tell what is causing the below errors?

THanks.

what is the inside interface connected to? a switch? what is that speed set at? how many switches or hops are there between your pix and desktop? i see your 'inside' is set for 'auto' 'auto', have you tried to hard code it to duplex full speed 100? also, there looks to be static on your line: 5829 input errors, 2925 CRC, 2904 frame, 0 overrun, 2925 ignored, 0 abor
You dont want to see input errors or crc errors. may want to open a ticket with telco to test after hours

lastly, dont post enable password RPN.WPaKy.QDNIg/ encrypted, there are tools that can decrypt your password.
 
Could be a bad cable between the PIX and the router.

I hate all Uppercase... I don't want my groups to seem angry at me all the time! =)

It's the outside interface having the problem. There is a duplex and/or speed mismatch.

Make sure it's either set to auto on both ends or the same manual setting on both ends. You cannot have say the router set to auto and the pix set to 100/full.

I would recommend leaving all your interfaces to auto unless there is a compatability issue.
 
Large amounts of CRC errors with little to no collisions or output errors usually points to excessive noise (i.e. bad cable).

I will go ahead and swap out the cable tomorrow and let you know what happens.

Thanks for all the advice!
 
I just switched out the crossover cable and the speed has not changed.

I am getting about 800kb/s down and 1400kb/s up. I'm not sure why the down is so much slower then the up?

Anything in the config that it could be. I have cleaned up the config a bit. Here it is again.



Thanks!!!

You still have some CRC errors, but that is a pretty low percentage of packets overall. What is connected to the outside interface?? If it's a router can you post the config for the interface??

try changing your outside:
interface Ethernet0
speed 100
duplex full
nameif outside

to auto auto

unless you are positive it should be 100/full
