Question
Network Slowness 60D-POE
At a remote site I have a 100mb Internet connection coming into a Fortinet 60D-POE Firewall. The users were complaining about slowness to the Internet. If I plug directly into the Cisco 3750 switch and run a speed test I get 30mb x 10mb. If I plug directly into the firewall and do the speed test again I get 112mb x 10mb. Thinking is was a bad switch I just got a layer two switch and plugged the firewall directly into that switch, along with my laptop. I reran the speed test and got the same result 30mb x 10mb. Thinking it might a link speed issue from the firewall to the switch. I installed a 1000gb module on the Cisco switch and made sure the firewall and the switch was set to 1000gb and full duplex and I still get the slower speeds. I checked the switch interface and there are no errors or collisions. At this point I am lost what is causing this problem. Any insight to this would be appreciated. Thanks, Richard
