Re: Dual Homed Question


It sounds reasonable, but there are so many variables...

What is the physical connection between the two Gig cards? Are they going via a Gig switch or hub? What other loading is there? Are they showing as Gig connections in the network status?

Are subnets etc. configured correctly on the NICs? I.e. does "route print" on each machine look like the traffic should be going through the gigabit connections?

After that you can get into performance tuning the actual network connections ( search for gigabit in http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/0/2800a518-7ac6-4aac-bd85-74d2c52e1ec6/tuning.doc ) but in my experience other file transfer protocols such as scp or FTP or HTTP are quicker than using Windows file sharing.

Hello All:

Have 2 servers that require alot of data transfer between the two. Rather than dragging all that data across the network, I dual homed both servers 1 - 10/100 and 1 - 10/1000. The configuration is below. The thought was to map a drive using IP address of the GIG card and force file transfers through that connection. In theory it sounds good but noticed that with the GIG NICS enabled, file transfer was horrible. Was the thinking behind this technically sound? If not why and what could be done to make this scenario work.

Thanks

Server 1
10/100 ip - 192.168.1.2
10/1000 ip - 192.168.2.2

Server 2

10/100 ip - 192.168.1.3
10/1000 ip - 192.168.2.3

Mapped Drive Server 1 to Server 2 by IP of 10/1000 .

Any input appreciated.
