Kevin,
I think the highest code version officially supporting IronCore
is 7.8.04. The 8.X code train is JetCore only.
Try that and see if it helps. If not, let me know.
Also, are you changing anything when you go to the L3 code, or
are you simply reloading with L3 code instead of L2? In other words, are the
two nodes on the same VLAN in both cases?

Ronald,
I found the document you refer to and used the buffer settings suggested
however this has not improved the performance at all.
Basically I just added the following commands to cover all the ports.
buffer-profile port-region 0 voip downlink 100 uplink 1000
buffer-profile port-region 1 voip downlink 100 uplink 1000
Is there something I have missed ? Is there any addtional configuration needed
at the Bigiron end.
Thank you
Kevin

Kevin,
There is
a problem known, when you’re pc is on 100Mbps and the uplink is a gig in
combination with QoS.
You have
to adjust the buffers to get it working, it’s also in the releasenotes for the
FGS.

Onderwerp: [f-nsp] Issue between FastIron (JetCore) and BigIron
(IronCore)
Hello,
I have an issue with some of my Foundry Network.
I have a BigIron 8000 (IronCore) with a Management 3 Module with 8 Fibres and a
number of 24 port 10/100 modules. MM3 Software version 8.0.0.1 ( I have also
tried from around 6.5 upwards). The BigIron is set as a layer 3 switch which
manages traffic between the 20 or so VLAN's we have set up.
I also have a FastIron GS648P software version 3.1.00 set up as just a standard
Layer 2 switch. (I have also tried up to version 4). In this I have an E1MG-SX
Fibre Module.
The problem I have is when I connect these switches together with a Fibre Lead
I seem to have slow file transfer speeds between a PC patched in the BigIron
and a PC patched into the FastIron. However when I connect the FastIron to a
BigIron (same modules) set up with Switching code only the transfers are fine.
I recreated this problem in a test lab using the spare BI4000 and FastIron
GS648P we have. I have also tried a Management 2 module with the same results
fine layer 2 slowness on layer 3.
Is there some sort of issue interconnecting these 2 devices when the BI is
configured as a Layer 3 Route/Switch ?
I think the configuration should be fine I've basically just tagged in the
VLAN's needed on the 2 Fibre ports. No configuration on the actual fibre
connections. This is done exactly the same as the rest of my network which
consists of 9 BigIrons varying from 4000 to 8000's and none of these have had
this issue.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Thank you,
Kevin Tunak
