Hey all,
Curious to see who's implemented Guard lately. It's getting
difficult to grab the DL380 boxes and I have a client with a bunch of
DL360's sitting around. Nearly exactly the same architecture as far as
the server goes, but a WORLD of difference in terms of SPEED and
throughput.
After successfully installing the Guard software on the box, we
decieded to do an end-to-end test. From one site of the IDS to the
other. The setup was as follows: [desktop armed with a 10/100 NIC
(hard-set to 100/full)] --> [Cisco 2940 switch] --> [GUARD] --> [Cisco
2940 switch] --> [desktop armed with a 10/100 NIC (hard-set to
100/full)]. Perhaps my methodology was flawed, but....we got ONLY
1.28MB/sec through that setup. That's INSANELY SLOW! Is it the
hardware we were running Guard on? (I can't believe it would make THAT
much difference), or is it the switches, or what? As a side note, we
did an FTP upload. Without the guard box we got 804kb/sec from
end-to-end through the bypass pod.
Perhaps someone can comment on this...someone from NetworkICE's group?
ISS? Someone who's done this before?
Thanks in advance,
