Hi all, I am troubleshooting a couple of servers which users say they are losing access to intermittently. I am seeing increasing Rcv-errors on the switch ports and a direct correlation on the In-lost on the "show mac" command.
Instinctively, I would think this means that the errors are being received on the switch port from the NIC. According to Cisco's website, the in-lost errors are caused by an excessive input rate of traffic to the switch port. Which sounds like the switch port is not able to buffer all the information it is receiving. Is there a way to see the buffers on a switch port? I know you can in a router but I don't see a command to do this on the switch. Here is a snippet of what I am seeing. (Keep in mind, I am not even sure this is the cause of the problem the users are experiencing but this is the only unusual item I am seeing.) 12:00 Feb 2, 2002 hodcsan1> (enable) sh port 2/8 Port Name Status Vlan Level Duplex Speed Type ----- ------------------ ---------- ---------- ------ ------ ----- ------------ 2/8 HOEXMB1 87.140 connected 1 normal full 100 10/100BaseTX Port AuxiliaryVlan AuxVlan-Status ----- ------------- -------------- 2/8 none none Port Security Violation Shutdown-Time Age-Time Max-Addr Trap IfIndex ----- -------- --------- ------------- -------- -------- -------- ------- 2/8 disabled shutdown 0 0 1 disabled 18 Port Num-Addr Secure-Src-Addr Age-Left Last-Src-Addr Shutdown/Time-Left ----- -------- ----------------- -------- ----------------- ------------------ 2/8 0 -
