Hmm. Upgraded router to 12.3(23).
Even after the upgrade, passing 82.3Mbps in / 42.5Mbps out over the 7204VXR's PA-GE interface (plus 1000BaseSX GBIC) causes the interface to stop passing traffic. Reseating the GBIC does not rectify the issue. However, reseating the PA-GE card does. Tried moving the PA-GE card from slot 2 to slot 3 (different PCI bus) and the problem still occurs. Tried with a different PA-GE card. Problem still occurs. I'll try with another GBIC, but that seems unlikely to resolve the issue. It's sounding like I may need to replace this router. Ugh. If anyone has any bright ideas, they are welcome.
