Re: IFS Performance issue

[Philipp Rusch <Philipp.Rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sometimes it's the *FULL duplex setting that causes more troubles
than doing anything good. Try *HALF  duplex and turn off auto
negotiation on the specific port of the switch, if it is manageable at all.
Recommended setting for 100 MBit Ethernet has been *HALF for the
AS/400 for many years, I don't know if this is still true with the newer
controllers in a model 270, but it is worth a try.
There are still some combinations, where auto neg. won't work.
Famous combination is cisco routers with dlink switches ...

HTH, regards from Germany, Philipp Rusch
