Re: FTP and file transfer speeds

I notice the input errors to a lesser extent on the other PIX interfaces,
but it sounds like you're sure that's way high.  Our DMZ setup is the
Netgear switch, a cable to the primary PIX, a cable to the failover PIX, a
cable to a model 520 5706 integrated ethernet port, and a cable to a model
800 2849 ethernet port.

Chad,

  Can't tell why just yet but this is your problem: (Snipped from the
DMZ interface statistics)

      Received 2900311 broadcasts, 124672 runts, 0 giants
      3198558 input errors, 695102 CRC, 2502959 frame, 497 overrun, 695102
ignored, 0 abort

   What is the device on the DMZ side of the PIX? The connected between
that device (hopefully another switch) and the PIX is not happy. Over 3
million errors and since they are splattered amongst CRC, Frame,
Overrun, and 'Ignored' it's likely a bad cable, bad port, or bad device
on that end. It COULD be a bad PIX port but I've not had any of those fail.

   I'd start there!

       - Larry
