Slow ping when using C921-K9

hansfry.ko

Level 1

Hi all,

I work with Cisco 867VAE, C881-K9 and currently C921.

we  use third party company from Japan to create the config for Cisco,  then I do EZVPN zero touch to the cisco.  

This Cisco only use two port , 1 LAN and 1 WAN.

Lan is connected to user Computer and WAN connected to internet.

my cisco communicate with the server in Japan, using site to site VPN. 

now the problem is,  using 867 and C881 , I can ping server smoothly, but using C921 I found that it have intermittent ping, sometime it can stop replying for 20 seconds or more and then reply again and stop again.

This problem in C921 is not always happen.  around 40 C921 I plant on various sites , maybe around 20 C921 that have this problem.

My feeling says that,  this C921 cisco  have lower tolerance with internet speed or stability. but I could be wrong.

since I dont have enable password for the cisco, I cannot see much settings on it.

any Idea , on what should I ask  to this Japan company I am work with, as they say there is no problem with the config.  

they tested  in their office, and always say the ping is good. but again their internet office speed is fast and stable. and my country is developing country that have slower  internet.

 

any input is appreciated , thank you

This required more clarity, you able to ping Server smoothly, where  is that server, from what source you able to  ping as expected, 

what ping not working, and what is the source and destination which lots the ping?

another side, we need to see the config to understand what is configured, if not we can only play guess games here.

How to Ask The Cisco Community for Help

Hello,

as far as I recall, the C921 has default control plane policing (CoPP) for the purpose of protecting the control plane against e.g. DoS and reconnaisance attacks. Ping (ICMP) traffic could be policed there. You could ask your co-workers in the other office(s) if they can see anything with the command:

show policy-map control-plane

Hi Balaji,

what ping not working, and what is the source and destination which lots the ping?

Ping from computer (that connected to LAN port of Cisco)   to    server public IP.

we need to see the config to understand what is configured,   I will try to ask them several part of the config

Ping from Cisco to server is good , 100% without lost
Success rate is 100 percent (500/500), round-trip min/avg/max = 168/171/228 ms

Hello,

that is an interesting detail. What OS (e.g. Windows 11) and what NIC (brand/type/model) is the end computer using ?

Hi Georg,

the computer that connected to LAn port of Cisco is using Linux, redhat  or Suse.   But I tried too using my laptop (windows 10) connected directly to Cisco LAN, the ping still the same, intermittent.

 

 

Hello,

as suggested, post the full running configuration of the C921. Maybe we can spot something...
