100Mbps throughput on 1Gbps fiber connection

I'm running a throughput test with iperf between an M6100 with 2 physical fiber connections in a LAG configuration that run to a M4100 in a nearby building. I've checked the settings on both devices and see that everything is communicating at 1Gbps but I'm only getting 100Mbps. I have a laptop connected directly to 2/0/44 on the M6100 (vlan 1) from another laptop connected on 1/0/22 on the M4100 (vlan 1.) The M4100 is running 10.0.2.30 firmware and M6100 is on 11.0.0.31.

 

Previously, I was able to get 1Gbps with this configuration and haven't modified any of the speed settings though the firmware has been updated a couple of times since the original test. Unfortunately, the switches are in production so I'd like to limit the amount of rebooting if possible.

 

  • Alright, so there's something wrong with the 1Gbps NIC in one of the laptops. We hooked up a new USB-C NIC and are getting the advertised speeds. Thanks for the replies.

    Would be interesting to see the SFP+ ports and related LAG config fragments.

     

    Consider to get in touch with the Netgear support anyway...

        I removed cos-queue min-bandwidth from the global config. Will test again and report back.
