Networking problem please solve.... for switches?

hi. there are 6 switches of 100 mbps %26amp; 16 ports are installed at my office. which are connected with each other. before two month ago there were only 3 switches. as we increased the number of switches the networking speed become slow and client database cannot be connect regularly by the server. So we are planing to pruchase one 24 ports 1000 mbps switch which will be connected with server and all the other swithches will be connected with this switch. all the nodes will be connected with other switches. I think this idea will be better but i havenot confirm about it. would u please help me the confirm this idea for increasing networking speed and regularly connection of application database from client to server as we are working only one LAN.

In my experience it is not good to connect switches to switches unless they have specfic ports on them for other switches to connect to. If you have just randomly plugged 6 switches together your going to have serious trouble because the network signals are going to start looping and the switches will not handle this like routers can. You should only have your switches connected to the gateway not to each other.
Reply:If the speed is really slow then you probably have a faulty port on one of the switches. Bad ports put out noise which really slow things down, many messages have be sent again. You can find this with the right gear. If you check round-trip delays, you can take out each switch until it all goes fast again.





You need to properly design the network, trying to make all the routes from clients to servers going through the least number of switches. Each switch will add a bit more delay.
Reply:get a websmart switch as the core switch.


probably someone on network is using quite a lot of bandwidth.


Use the QoS function to control the bandwidth by each port/IP
