HP Procurve 2610 - File tranfer at 512Kbps
HP Procurve 2610 - File tranfer at 512Kbps
(OP)
Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm posting this on the right forum but here it is.
I have a HP Procurve 2610-24-PWR (J9087A). When we do file transfer from computer to computer via workgroups the file transfer is limited to 512K transfer rate. On our old office we had a couple of unmanaged switches and we use to transfer files faster. Do know what might be causing this? I have 100 Full-Duplex on almost all ports and some are set to auto. Duplex speed on the ports are sets according to status alerts I get on the web interface.
We have gigabit cabling done on our new office with a gigabit patch panel. Later we are planning in upgrading this switch to a gigabit switch, but at the moment this is the only option for us. Also I'm using the HP Procurve 2610 web interface to change some settings. I'm new to manage switches so please bare with me, my boss want me to learn how to manage this switch.
Thank You
Ben

If you know your cabling is good, then you could use a crossover cable (568B to 568A) from computer to computer and get the switch completely out of the picture to test your file transfers. I really doubt your switch is the culprit, but this would confirm to you for sure.
Let us know what you find.

You might be thinking of a rollover cable used for serial communication to a router or switch. But a crossover cable as I described is 100% legitimate to troubleshoot this scenario as it negates the need of two computers to talk to each other via a switch. They just connect to each other using a crossover cable. He can then do his file transfers straight from computer to computer without the switch in the middle to confirm if he has as switch issue or a computer issue.

1 ----- 3
2 ----- 6
3 ----- 1
4 ----- 4
5 ----- 5
6 ----- 2
7 ----- 7
8 ----- 8
When the correct pinout should be:
1 ----- 3
2 ----- 6
3 ----- 1
4 ----- 7
5 ----- 8
6 ----- 2
7 ----- 4
8 ----- 5
Sure, it'll probably come up at 100mbit, depending on the NIC... and probably leave the original poster wondering if one of his NICs is the problem, since they won't come up at gigabit speeds over a 10' patch cable.
