Thanks all for the great info and suggestions. I set the interfaces to auto/auto and there were *almost* no errors overnight.

We had cases in the past where devices got reloaded and when came back didn't negotiate properly (most often stuck in half-duplex). Those issues are sometimes quite difficult to spot. So we settled on hard settings. kind regards Pshem _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
