AEBS Fast Ethernet vs Gigabit

Hi all, I have a fast ethernet AEBS-80211n and was wondering if there was much difference between mine and the newer gigabit version especially in airdisk speeds. Now im using it for time machine writing to the airdisk is painfully slow even over ethernet, I get:
7MB/s write over ethernet
10MB/s read over ethernet
2MB/s write 80211n (5GHZ)
5MB/s read 80211n (5GHZ)
Unfortunately its even slower when backing up with time machine, is the gigabit any faster?

There were some numbers posted in this thread of mine. I was actually looking for those 'n' numbers. Thanks!

They do seem a bit slow for wireless n. I've seen around 6 to 8 MB/s for the time capsule over wireless.

Satellite L670 series: fast-ethernet or gigabit ethernet ?

Hi all,
Any L670 series Satellite owners on here ?
Looking at various websites, the common consensus is that the L670 series is not equiped with gigabit ethernet, but with regular fast-ethernet.
Can someone confirm or deny that please ?
Does it or does it not have gigabit ethernet ?
Many thanks,
Kind regards,
Rene Fennet

Hello
Differnet notebooks have different hardware so what Satellite L670 you have exactly?
Some models have Gbit but other models not.

Gigabit vs. Fast Ethernet (AEBS 802.11n)

Hi,
I have an AEBS 802.11n that I bought back in September 2007. It currently has the 7.2.1 Gigabit Ethernet firmware on it. I want to revert back to older firmware (because of some file transfer problems I have been having) and I see my choices are 7.2 Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1.1 Fast Ethernet, 7.1 Fast Ethernet. I am not sure which one to choose. Is it OK to put Fast Ethernet firmware on the AEBS even if it currently has Gigabit Ethernet firmware? What is the difference between those?
Thanks.

You should choose "7.2 Gigabit Ethernet".
The older versions are for the Airport Extreme N Base Station model previous to the one you own, which had only 100Mbps ethernet ports.

AEBS 802-11N with fast ethernet ports?

Hi
One year (januari 2007) ago I bought the new model of the AEBS 802-11N. I always thought it had 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Just now when trying to install the new 7.3.1 firmware, I only can install the Fast Ethernet firmware. It seems that the AEBS only has Fast Ethernet ports instead of Gigabit ports.
Who can confirm that the AEBS (release jan. 2007) has only Fast Ethernet ports?
Jurgen

JurgenS, Welcome to the discussion area!
Who can confirm that the AEBS (release jan. 2007) has only Fast Ethernet ports?
Yes that is true.
The Gigabit version was released in August 2007.

Macbook Pro does not see Fast Ethernet but works fine with Gigabit Ethernet

Hi to everybody,
It is some time I have a problem connecting my unibody Macbook Pro (late 2008) to the ethernet cables in my office. There are 16 wall jacks in the lab, of which 13 are Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and 3 are Gigabit Ethernet. No matter what I do, if I connect to the 100 Mbit/s jacks, my Macbook does not see the connection and keeps saying "Cable unplugged". If I switch to a Gigabit jack, then a connection is quickly established.
I have spent one whole afternoon debugging. Here is what I did:
My computer dual boots Mac OS X and Linux. No matter which operating system I use, the problem is the same.
Using different Cat.5 cables does not change the situation (I tried three of them.)
All the 13 Fast Ethernet jacks do not work.
All the 3 Gigabit jacks work smoothly.
What puzzles me is that my computer happly uses the newest technology (Gigabit ethernet) but has problems with the oldest one. Has somebody else experienced the same problem?

After a lot of struggle, I discovered that other people had this very issue as well. It seems that the cause is a faulty Realtek chip used in the ethernet cards of some MacBooks and other brands. There is apparently no way to fix this: I solved my problems by buying a Gigabit Ethernet switch which I connected to the Fast Ethernet wall jack. (Another option might be to use a Ethernet-to-USB adapter - but I did not try this as I have no adapter of this kind.)

Faster ethernet data transfer time than 2ms

Dear all,
I'm using labview 7.1 based on a standard laptop communicating with a LabVIEW real time maching running the standard real time operating system. The two machines are connected through a dedication ethernet switch (rated to 1Gbs), and both have ethernet cards (rated at 100Mbs or greater).
The aim of my project is to have a fast distributed control scheme going. This basically means that small amounts of sensor data have to be transferred very quickly between the two machines. The aim is to then scale this to have more machines on the network.
I use a UDP data transfer method, using the standard labview UDP read and UDP write vis.
I would like to acheive a major frame rate of around 500Hz. The problem I have restricting me with this is the speed of the ethernet connection. It would appear that the vi wrtes to buffer instantaneously, but it is taking as much as 2-3ms for the data package to be sent and received by the other machine. This is a ridiculously long amount of time. I'm sending approximately 100bytes, so the time on the network should be 0.01ms. This would suggest the time delay is in the reading or writing of the data from the Ethernet card over the PCI bus to the program.
Does anyone know why its taking so long? Do the UDP read vis only check the ethernet hardware every ms? I've taken great care to ensure that this is not a synchronisation or timing problem and I am certain it is not that.
I could really do with making this data transfer quicker as it is clearly the slowest part of the control loop. If anyone has come across this before and found a solution I would be grateful to know about it. I'm really hoping that I won't have to write something low-level in C or anything like that and try and integrate it with the code I have.
Many thanks,
Pete

Finally found some hard numbers for data transfer rates. From this website. http://www.intellicom.se/ModbusTCP_overview.shtml
Performance from a MODBUS TCP/IP system
The performance basically depends on the network and the hardware. If you are running MODBUS® TCP/IP over the Internet, you won't get better than typical Internet response times. However, for communicating for debug and maintenance purposes, this may be perfectly adequate and save you from having to catch a plane or go to site on a Sunday morning!
For a high-performance Intranet with high-speed Ethernet switches to guarantee performance, the situation is completely different.
In theory MODBUS® TCP/IP carries data at up to 250/(250+70+70) or about 60% efficiency when transferring registers in bulk, and since 10 Base T Ethernet carries about 1.25 Mbytes/sec raw, the theoretical throughput is:
1.25M / 2 * 60% = 360000 registers per second and the 100 Base T speed is 10 x greater.
This assumes that you are using devices that can service Ethernet as fast as bandwidth is available.
Practical tests carried out by Schneider Automation using a MOMENTUMTM Ethernet PLC with Ethernet I/O demonstrated that up to 4000 I/O bases could be scanned per second, each I/O base having up to 16 12-bit analog I/O or 32 discrete I/O. Four bases could be updated in one millisecond. While this is below the theoretical limit calculated above, it must be remembered that the tested device was running with a lowly 80186 CPU running at 50Mhertz with an effective computing power of 3 MIPS (compared to the 700 MIPS of a 500MHz Pentium). Also, these results are nevertheless faster than the proprietary I/O scan methods used to date.
As low-end CPU's get cheaper, Momentum-type devices will chase the theoretical limit, although they'll never reach it because the limit will be continually pushed further away with 1 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, etc. This is in contrast to other field-buses which are inherently stuck at one speed

PCI Fast Ethernet Controller v2.13 error

It means the hard drive was not found by the BIOS. (PXE indicates an attempt to boot from a network - lower on the list.)
So it's the hard disk that's toast.

Airport Extreme (Fast Ethernet) + Airport Express (WDS) = disconnects

I have an Airport Express configured as a WDS, bridging a wired device (a small PC running Linux) to an Airport Extreme (Fast Ethernet). Security is enabled (WPA).
Frequently, the Airport Express disconnects from the wireless network and I have to reboot the thing by unplugging it. I have it set up to log to the PC, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for in the log.
Any guidance? I'd like to hold on to the Express, but I can't if it's acting flakey like this.

More than likely you are experiencing RF interference from other devices operating at 2.4 GHz. You can use a tool like iStumbler to see what other networks are visible in your area. Then you can configure your 2 base stations to use a channel which is as far as possible from the channels used by other networks.

3com 3c90x fast ethernet 10/100 card and solaris 8 (x86)

I am completely new to solaris, I am trying to install solaris 8 for x86 in a computer with a 3com 3c90x fast ethernet 10/100 card and looks like the o.s. does not recognize it at first. Reading the 02/02 hardware compatibility list I found out that this device needs to be configured after the instalation (with the device configuration floppy). The point is... I have no clue on how to do this. Can someone help me with that or point me in the right direction? The machine is ment to be a back-up file server.
Since now, thanks for the attention.
lucdepaula

Maybe the 3Com card works by adding it's PCI-ID to /etc/driver_aliases:
http://sun.drydog.com/faq/s86faq.html#6.7
Maybe you also need the (unoffical) elxl driver update for some of the
newer 3Com 3c905 variants:

Connect unmanaged switch to 887VA fast ethernet port

I tried connecting an unmanaged (and dumb) switch to one of the four fast ethernet ports on the back of the router. I configured the port to act as an access port bound to a specific VLAN, say no. 100.
What I can see on the LEDs of the unmanaged switch is that the link goes up and down every few seconds. I don't know if this is related to the spanning tree protocol and unfortunately the unmanaged switch doesn't know about STP and doesn't send out BPDUs.
So, how I should configure the port in order to avoid the link going up and down?
The actual conf. for the port:
interface fastEthernet 3
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 100

What do you mean by dumb siwthc? What model/make/company is that switch?
Can you try to do the reset of the switch so that it wipe off all the config what so ever present on the box and then try to connect the switch to the router?

Solaris 10 vs. SiS 961B Fast Ethernet

I have installed Solaris 10. My computer has Asus P4S533 motherboard with
- SiS 961B integrated Fast Ethernet with ICS external PHY
- C-Media CMI8738 audio controller.
Solaris is working fine, but I cannot find a driver for the two hardware elements above. Which ethernet interface should I choose for the SiS 961B chip? Or how could I find and install a driver?

The SiS NIC might work with the sfe driver, from:

WIRED FAST ETHERNET SWITCH BY NETGear

Here is my issue and it may be answered best on another board, but here goes. I hooked up a Netgear FS605 Fast Ethernet Switch. I ran my cable connection through the switch out to my Airport and then onto my IMAC Desktop. It all flowed fine. I then ran a cable from the switch to our new ps3 in the basement which did not see the connection. Now I figured maybe my cable making skills are lacking so i testes to see if i had a signal using my laptop. I did not. SO I went upstairs directly to the switch took out a good E Cable and connected the laptop there and still no connection. So i am not sure if A the cable i ran for the PS 3 is bad, and B having a **** of a time getting the Etherenet Switch to be reconized on my LAPTOP. any ideas out there? Once i get the LAPTOP to see the switch i can then go and check my cable run.
Thanks

Have you tested the cable with network testing device to make sure the cable is ok?

E4200 + Dell PowerConnect 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch work/notwork?

We have a Dell™ PowerConnect™ 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch and with the e4200 having only 4 ports a fifth port is needed if we are not able to resolve the usb/printer fiasco that we have been struggling with for the past three days.
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, PLEASE hlep!
Thanks,

We have the e4200 v.1 router with four ports in the back and we have updated the usb to network in a xeror 8400 printer via a usb connection. But after three days of trying, only one computer can find the printer on the e4200 router's usb port.
Plan B: give up trying to connect four computers (filling the four ports in the router) to the e4200 usb printer connection and utilize this Dell™ PowerConnect™ 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch which has 16 ports and network in the printer on this dell Ethernet Switch.
BUT, I don't know if this can be done with the e4200 since the CC/Linksys does not appear to be PnP friendly & we don't have the resources to hire in a tech. I can follow instruction, please point me in the right direction. Many thanks if you can assist,

Extra fast/ethernet port on 2610 router?

I am looking for a way to add an extra ethernet port on my 2610. What i have read is making me wonder if the only way to do this would be the NM-1E or NM-4E. Are there any other modules or WICs that would give me an fast/ethernet port?
Thanks,
Kyle

Hi,
NM-2FE2W & NM-1FE2W
is one which is supported by the new model 2691. Since 2610 is end of line cisco will not support it.
If possible you can try inserting if you have a spare. May be it would work. Its on your own risk.
Below is the link.

Anyone help me redundancy for serial in to fast ethernet

We have connected some customer through leaseline through router serial interface .
the main problem is sometime the leaseckt is down for 2 or 3 days continously.
so we want redundancy for those customer.
we have backup rf link
so any possiblities are there for if serial interface line protocol went down automatically traffic swithover to ethernet interface of 3550 switch fa interface

Hi
in this figure the customer have one ip 16 ip block that is oruted with IGRP in PE router
we want either link customer use same ip block.
and in RF link Base Station is connected in L3 Swith Fast Eternet port.
All rf customers are in different VLANS.
if the LeaselIne went down the traffic will automatically swithed over to rf link
means the L3 swith fast ethernet port have several vlan membership in this it automatically go.
sorry for poor english.
looking forward u r reply.
thanks
