I have a Beaglebone Black deployed at a customer site that is reporting a
large number dropped RX packets in ifconfig:
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr c8:a0:30:34:b8:09
inet addr:10.121.6.30 Bcast:10.121.6.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::caa0:30ff:fe34:b809/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:10201019 errors:0 dropped:*2478997* overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:3304697 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:1240516851 (1.1 GiB) TX bytes:250440920 (238.8 MiB)
Interrupt:40
Are there any settings that may be adjusted on the Beaglebone that may help
or is this likely a cabling/network issue at the site or a defective NIC?
Would it be common for the default network settings to not be able to
handle incoming packets fast enough (installed BeagleBone Debian Image
2014-04-23)? I installed ethtool, but it appears that most options are
not supported in this Debian image. When I ping anything on the local
network, I'm getting 5-10% dropped packets.
Thanks,
Danny
