poor/terrible bandwidth on Dell N3024 switch

good morning all

I have a the N3024 in a pretty basic configuration- there is a single Avid *** (SAN solution) with a single Myricom 10Gb card connected to the front 10Gb port on the N3024 -there is no zoning, and nothing really special in the config- (config file below)

there are Windows7 and Mac OS clients connected to the switch via Cat6- Avid provides a Path Diagnostic tool to confirm bandwidth for video editing- and here is where things get weird-

any MacPro client connected via dual GigE gets the expected 190-200+MB/s on both READ and WRITE tests... 

but the Windows7 client will only get 25-30MB/s WRITE -oddly enough the READ bandwidth tests out at the normal 190-200MB/s over the dual connection

the N3025 has been reset to factory default and the Avid configuration re-applied- but no change to the test results- has anyone seen anything like this?

thanks again in advance

here is the config file:

!Current Configuration:

!System Description "Dell Networking N3024, 6.1.0.6, Linux 3.6.5-320b2282"

!System Software Version 6.1.0.6

Hi,

The config on the switch doesn’t show anything that would be causing a performance issue. There are not ACLs or anything that could slow traffic. You could try updating the switch firmware http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=MW2JJ&fileId=3461947804&osCode=NAA&productCode=networking-n3000-series&languageCode=EN&categoryId=NI

 

Since it works fine on the MacPro it is probably not a switch issue. What model NICs are in the Windows clients?

thanks very much for the input

to update the issue- the poor performance is when clients are connected to the switch via dual 1Gb connections- a single 1Gb connection gives the expected 95-100+MB/s but when dual connected to the switch the bandwidth goes south-

the NICs are Intel Pro1000

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem on a brand new updated N1524p.

Any progress on your side ?
