Hello, my current setup is....
[comcast 10 Mbps]<----->[Cisco 1760]<------->[Dell PowerConnect 3024]--------[LAN]
I have a WIC-1ENET on my 1760 connected to the the motorola cable modem. I was wondering if there are any specific commands I should apply to an external interface to improve performance, or keep unwanted traffic from being sent out.
interface Ethernet0/0
ip address dhcp
no ip redirects
no ip proxy-arp
ip nat outside
no ip route-cache cef
no ip route-cache
no ip mroute-cache
half-duplex
priority-group 1
no cdp enable
That is my current setup for my external interface. I have the priority set for my xbox 360. So that netflix gets highest priority. This allows for me to get HD streams 90% of the time, with little to no slow downs from others using the network. I would like to set full-duplex, but doing so brings the connections to the internet down to a crawl. I don't know if this is because the cable modem needs to be reset after full-duplex has been set, or what.
I have seen some configurations with a hold-queue value. Would this help me any? Speed tests using dlsreports i see about 8Mbps/1.5Mbps down/up. I have modified the nat tcp timeout to 10 minutes.
Thanks for any information guys.
