iperf issue

[xcvtop]

Hi I am currently testing speed on my network ahead of an upgrade and are currently running into an issue with Iperf3 and server 2012.

 

I can run Iperf as a client from my server 2012 file server, but when i try to run it as a server and connect to it i get the error "iperf3: error - unable to connect to server: Connection timed out".

 

I have opened the port for inbound on the server with no success.

 

any thoughts?

Maybe your firewall is blocking the connection?

Did you add the rule for tcp, udp or both?

iPerf can use both and I think it uses tcp by default, I just open both udp and tcp for iperf.

I added it as an incoming rule for port 5001 (both TCPand UDP) as stated when i start the iperf2 server but connection still cannot be made

Can you pingteh server from the PC you are trying to iPerf from?

Are both clients iperf2? One of them could be iperf3

Yeah to be fair. You do mention using iPerf3 in your first post, but later on you change it to iPerf2?

yes both server and client are using iperf2, i switched to iperf2 to see if there were any issues specific to iperf3
