Cisco asa 5505 not reaching my download speeds

walters199
Level 1
Level 1

We try to replace our Palo Alto to an ASA 5505.

We have a Fiber line with 100mb up/down.

Upload is a constant 80/90 mb
Download keeps stuck at 35/40 mb

I have tried al the solutions mentioned on 

https://www.reddit.com/r/Cisco/comments/2u4o3n/asa_5505_bottlenecking_100mbps_internet_to_35mbps/

- We have no shapers configured
- The interface is set to 100mb full duplex
- used Gb switch between ISP and my ASA

I have searcht around but can`t find a solution.

Config below:

!!! I have noticed the CRC errors.
For the inside interface I replaced all my cables ( Numbers grow only with uploading where I have no troubles at the moment)
The CRC errors on the outside are from messing with the cables.

Any Ideas ?

First: The 5505 is rated for 150 MBit/s with UDP under ideal test conditions. Whatever you configure, this device is to slow for your connection.

You still can try to improve the result a little bit:

  1. Make sure that your duplex-settings match the other side. The collisions/CRC errors should not increment any more
  2. Upgrade to the newest code.
  3. With PPPoE, an MTU of 1492 is correct. 
  4. Disable all unneeded inspections in your policy-map

But whatever you do, you won't reach line-rate.

Hi Karsten,

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

I will ask my collegue from sales to look for a newer ASA 5508. I just checkt the capacity sheet and this device will probably reach the maximum troughput.

You should be getting more than 35/40Mbps down.

I use a 5505 for my home connection and have 100/10 from my provider.  I just tested and was getting 87 down and a little over 10 up.  If you're getting half that, something is wrong.

I would double check the devices this ASA is connecting to.  I once had the same issue you're describing at home and it was due to me hard-coding the ASA at 100/Full, but the service provider modem was at Auto, and they auto-negotiated at Half duplex.  

Again, double check all connection points for duplex/speed mismatches.  That would be my first step.  But you should expect more than 40Mbps out of this device.

HTH

Thank for your reply Scott.

I will connect the asa again and see if it auto duplexes to full.
And confirm at the ISP if there device  also trains in at 100Mb full-duplex.
