iMoD1998 22 Posted January 12 Hi, im just checking if the ethernet port bandwidth on the XR700 is shared across all the ports. (forgot the technical term) I'm currently using 10GB SFP+ for a NAS but two clients cant seem to maintain gigabit connections at the same time. I've made sure that IO isnt a problem. I just want to check if I may have misconfigured something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Netduma Fraser 10,973 Posted January 12 I believe you're talking about aggregation, you can find details about how to set it up etc on page 143 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/XR700/XR700_UM_EN.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I believe it is shared if memory serves me right but only up to a gig and then there will be the overheads which will lower the throughput a tad. 1 Netduma Fraser reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fiefo 21 Posted January 15 Is the xr1000 Ethernet bandwidth shared as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are asking if you have a 1 gig line into the router the answer is they will share that 1 gig and not have 1 gig throughput each if you had all the ports connected for obvious reasons.

fiefo 21 Posted January 16 What port ranges do you suggest for the xr1000 ps5? For traffic prio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fiefo 21 Posted Sunday at 09:32 PM So even the xr1000 shares equal bandwidth through Ethernet ports? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Netduma Fraser 10,973 Posted Wednesday at 03:02 PM @iMoD1998 they are really busy, they will not always be able to get back to us that fast. I have got a response via email: Quote The bandwidth is share and only 2Gbps between network process and 5-port external switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iMoD1998 22 Posted Wednesday at 07:57 PM @Netduma Fraser I understand everyone is busy but it was 3 days. Also that response doesn't make a lot of sense. Are they trying to say that 2gbps is maximum throughput of all the ports as a whole? In this scenario that isn't true. External switch? Network process? If so what was the point of advertising that the 10GB SFP+ port could be used for a NAS or even for a WAN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iMoD1998 22 Posted Thursday at 06:27 PM So from what I can tell from online. Mainly from DDWRT is that the ports count as 1 actual port but netgear use VLANS to separate them meaning they all share the same bandwidth. However, I believe the 2 used for aggregation probably are separate ports otherwise it wouldn't do anything. If I'm right, this is a joke considering how its advertised that the 10Gb port can specifically be used for giving more bandwidth to the NAS which is just untrue if nothing can actually utilise it even as a WAN. Pathetic for a router that cost me £300+ I'd be re-evaluating the partnership with netgear because of this and all the crap they pull with just slapping DumaOS as a nice front end on their crap filled implementation. I mean seriously, it doesn't even have local DNS and fights Linux at every step despite running it. Shame I missed the return window. Hoping for a good recommendation for an actual 10Gb router because even if this is a bug, I doubt it will be fixed in my lifetime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
