So, i have a Netvanta 1534 as the only networking device in my system. My network consists of 5 Win 7 PCs, and the switch, completely separate from any other hardware.
The problem i'm having is that it takes about 10-20 seconds for each host to obtain a DHCP address, and once they do the first time they start communicating it seems pretty slow (opening up a remote desktop between two, or accessing a shared folder for instance). Once the connection has been made it's pretty quick, i can see speeds upwards of 100mb/s, so, once everything is connected it's happy, it just takes forever for things to discover eachother...
Is there any way (besides assigning static ip addresses) to make it 'fast'?
I've also noticed that when connecting the whole system to my router it takes quite some time for system to get their DHCP addressing from the router, but if i plug everything into a dumb switch (5 port netgear), which it attached to my router, things are very very very fast...
So i guess the other issue is that i have 3 configurations...
The most important is in it's standalone configuration, where there is no other router/switch involved. It would be nice though to be able to plug a line in that goes over to 'real' router and grab addressing information from there and not have to wait so long for initialization... any thoughts?
Also, i'm using the Web interface to change everything, as the only system i have with a serial port is not working...
Just some background info: The reason network initialization matters so much is that we have some software that needs to talk asap, and the other reason is that windows mapped network drives like to 'try' to connect at log-in, and if the network connection is not established it fails, and i have to go through the pain of writing scripts to ping around the network before re-mapping the drives...
I'll also preface that I'm just a systems engineer who was given a switch, and have no clue what i'm doing 😉
