Cisco 2611 with slow cable internet
Hey everyone...I am having some connectivity issues with my cisco 2611 router... I have a 6meg down connection from my isp... and with my cisco 2611 router i am only dl at 1.5meg... Also... for some strange reason... when there is a big load on the router... for ex... constant speedtests.... the cisco suddenly drops the e0/0 connection... the activity light just stops and the cable modem keeps on going... so i know i'm not losing the signal from my isp... This problem goes away when i reset the cable modem and comes back later. I had a D-link router hooked up to it right before i connected the cisco router and i was getting the 6meg down connection...This is really annoying.. please help.. my configuration is
cable modem--->Cisco 2611 e0/0-->e0/1-------->Cisco 2950 /24 port switch ------>computers
here is my config file from my router... I can also post my config file from my switch if you would like.
Current configuration : 1102 bytes

Something that's REALLY interesting is that on the interface coming from the cable modem, 95% of the inbound traffic is broadcast.
I'd be curious what that traffic is.

I saw that too, it’s probably some infected computers on the cable segment he is on spewing out trash. One person I know had it get so bad he was getting over a meg of trash coming in before he complained and the cable company blocked the connections of those who were causing the problem.
Yeah, that's possible.
If that's it, then it could be contributing to the slow d/l performance.
Maybe a "debug ip packet" for a moment and see what those packets are.

well.... i know it's not my internet connection.... I am currently connected to my dlink router and went to dslreports.com and got the following results.
2005-03-06 15:07:00 EST: 4787 / 708
Your download speed : 4902593 bps, or 4787 kbps.
A 598.4 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 725338 bps, or 708 kbps.
I don't get anywhere near this when I am connected to the router..... If i change all my ports to connected to the router.. will that affect my performance?? or will i not know the difference??

UPDATE... I connected the router to the switch instead of the cable modem and changed the settings around so i can still use my Dlink as my gatway to the internet... I connected my laptop directly to the router...my new temp config is like this
cable modem --->Dlink VOIP gateway/router ----->Cisco 2950 switch ---->computers
Cisco 2950 switch --->2611 Router ----> Laptop
Now when i do bandwidth tests i get full strength... Anyone know why that would be???

well i haven't been able to test it since this morning because my sisters are nagging me that they need the internet to do homework... so as soon as i get a chance... I will connect the router back up to being the first device.. I already set the port to half duplex but haven't tested it out.. I will post my results as soon as soon as i get a chance.

IT WORKS NOW!!!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS... I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT YOU....... I was my duplex problem in e0/0... I wonder why it does that... is there any way i can get everything to work on full-duplex??? is it the IOS i am using?(12.2(3))... Well hopefully this fixes the problem i had with the router dropping my e0/0 connection. If it is ok with you guys... I would like to split the points 50/50 since you both helped me find the solution.... thanks again for all your help. I actually have some more questions if you guys want to earn more points...I will post links to the questions on here after i create them.
Thanks.
Thanks.
The vast majority of cable and ADSL modems have only 10 Meg half duplex Ethernet ports. Some have 100 Meg half duplex ports, but I have not seen any with full duplex ports. If your modem has a 10-100 Meg port, you might get better performance by running it through a switch so you can have full duplex on the router, and 100 Megs half duplex on the modem, and let the router do the conversion between the two. Since you have a 2950, you can create a VLAN on two of the ports for this, which in effect will make those two ports act like a separate switch.

In this case the next hop was 10.10.99.49, so you would add the route in for this, and remove the old one.

The bad part about this is if you end up on another subnet, you will have to revert back to the way it is now, and redo this again. The good part is most times that rarely happens, as most cable operators use only one subnet per cable segment, and rarely change it.
