I have 2 new 3750g devices in a small environment. switch1 acts as our collapsed core and has ip routing enabled, and is connected to a ASA 5510. There are 3 HP l2 switches connected to switch1 as well. switch2 is simply a server switch. switch1 and switch2 have a 2port etherchannel between them, and a vlan trunk carrying 4 vlan's.
Issue: traffic between any 2 hosts on switch2 (same vlan) are slow. (average 300Mbits/sec) If I move one of those hosts to switch1, speeds increase by 3 times. (average 900 Mbits/sec). Additionally, traffic between any 2 hosts on switch1 are quick. testing is done with iperf as well as timing 1gig file transfers.
I don't see any errors or drops anywhere, and there are no other symptoms other than slow transfer beteween hosts on switch2. Any ideas where to start? I just got 2 more of these 3750's to put in a 2nd site that we have, put a quick configuration on them, and have the same result. Other than switch1 having ip routing enabled, the configs are pretty much identical.
thanks
Matt
