hcintron Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Hi. I'm having a problem creating backups via a Cisco PIX 515E. If i backup on a local LAN the rate is between 150-250MB if I backup via the PIX (one zone to another) the transfer drops to 4MB. I verify the PIX and the CPU is less than 10% and overall traffic on the zones are less than 1MB. I didn't find any type of rate limit on the PIX. Has anyone run into a similar problem? Thanks Edited March 31, 2008 by Guest fix pix model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Retrospect uses port 497 for TCP and UDP traffic. Retrospect also uses subnet broadcast and multicast. Go to Configure>Clients. Pick a client and get properties. Then do a refresh. This forces and connection and will give you the raw connection speed between the client and server.

hcintron Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I did the raw speed: Server on LAN - 11,881K Server via PIX - 267K Question does it requied multicast and Broadcast? is this is why the speed diference? So if the answer is yes I guest I would have to allow Multi and Broad cast on the other interfaces to be able to get top speeds?

Mayoff Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 You should only need it for client discovery. Try to forget the client and add it by the IP address instead of the other methods. If the speed is slow, then the broadcast methods are not a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hcintron Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 ok, that makes more sense. Just did it, i added it as direct and using the ip, the raw speed didn't change much now is at 421K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
