Slow Ping Response on DL380 G4 with RH3.0 Update 3

[Jeffrey Pogodzinski_1]

Hi,

I have a DL380 G4 with RH 3.0 Update 3 installed. Does anyone know how I can determine why my ping's are so slow. I am getting 1-4 ms response time when I pinging other local systems. On other RH servers on the same network -- the response is 0.187 ms or less.

Thanks, Jeff.

u need to check your speed/duplex setting on your nic. use ethtool, and make sure your duplex/speed is set to what your switch is set at.

I agree with the switch advice.

Also note that ping is not standard, platform to platform. Poor programming technique can cause these results.

If the system is responsive and the results are consistent, there may be no issues that need to be dealt with.
