hi all, We run a gre tunnel between sites across an isp network...sometimes we lose connectivity (ipx mainly and somtimes both IP & IPX) but the show tunnel and show interface commands gives an up, up status. The only thing unusual is that the show int f0/0 commands reveals a rising number of packets deferred. what does the 'xxxxxxxx deferred' signify and can anybody pls come up with tips on making this tunnel a trouble free one. regards, John _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
