I have a connection going from SRX5308 to the FS728. I have a NAS connected to the FS728, IP Cameras, and I'm trying to increase the throughput of the NAS by connecting this device and the FS728 to ...
Thanks John!! So purchased a purchased a GS110TPP. Connected the SRX5308 to the GS110TP uplink 9 port. Then connected the FS728TP uplink 25 port to the GS110TP uplink 10 port. Now my two switches and router are connected with GB trunks. Then I connected my server and NAS device to the GS110TP ports 8 and 7 respectively and configured both NIC's for GB. It seems to have solved my files speed transfer issues. But the results of the Server are mixed. When I'm connecting to the FS728TP switch I thgough at GB speed, the task manager shows the enternet card only reaching 100MB. When a file is transferred to the NAS, it shows 500MB max. I forced the server NIC to GB full duplex, but does not seem to change the results.
The ports on both switches say they are connected at GB speed. thoughts?

The FS728TP has only two dedicated plus two shared Gigabit ports. Only on these ports the link can be Gigabit or 1000 Mb/s, all other ports are Fast Ethernet only.

This number isn't a network bottleneck, either the NAS or the testing system might not be able to handle faster data transfers.
