Port Speed Up/Downlink Limitation

Dear Sophos Community,

we have experienced the following at a customer:

Site A

XGS2100 Cluster SFOS 19.0.0 GA-Build317

Site B

XGS116 Cluster SFOS 19.0.0 GA-Build317

Connection via "point to point" glasfiber Provider Switch, Copper Uplink Module on Port 5 respectivly, 1Gbit/s symmetrical

IP Configuration

WAN Zone 172.31.255.0/24 (Site A has the IP .2; Site B has the IP .3, as Gateway we set the respective other appliance. Only Site A hast real WAN Uplink, Port 5 was put as backup manually on both appliances)

Site-to-site VPN, to make sure, that ISP cannot track the traffic between Sites, as it contains very sensitive Data

Connection Type Tunnel Interface (Phase 1

Site A having 10.10.10.1/30

Site B having 10.10.10.2/30

Routing via OSPF

Throughput of both Devices should be sufficiant (Both Phases with AES256 and SHA256 and DH14 group) Tunnel itself seems stable

Now the curious part: Site A to Site B seems to work fine, however, Site B to Site A the Uplink from Site B seems to be limited to 10MBit/s sharp; Search pointed me towards Traffic shaping settings, these where changed to maximum values, however, did not make any difference.

Question: Is there anything I am overlooking, shouldnt the appliance be able to use somewhat near 1GBit/s minus IPsec overhead and encryption/decryption-delays? Why is the Limitation asymmetric, does it have to do with the XGS116 Cluster?

IPS and other load-specific processes are not yet in use, no QoS is active. Provider Checked the Ports of his Switch, no limitations there.

  • Hi,

    as tried before, it is now turned on agein (testing with Thomas i tried to disable ipsec-acceleration and firewall-acceleration)

    nevertheless:

    Site A (XGS 2100)

    console> system ipsec-acceleration show
    IPsec acceleration status: turned on

    Site B (XGS 116)

    console> system ipsec-acceleration show
    IPsec acceleration status: turned on

    this should be correct right?
