Hi, Chee. Try "no keepalive" on the ethernet interface. Remember, though, that this might also have to be done on other interfaces on the physical net if they are expecting to see it. One example might be a Cisco router talking to a Cisco switch port. I've also noticed some CRC errors (in rare cases) on trunking interfaces when the keepalive is used. You could disable the keepalives in that case to keep the counters clean.

It is sent periodically at 10 sec interval. Any way to turn this off? Sorry that it is not a study question.
