not at all clueless. I did not see a spot among all the "show" outputs where packets dropped is indicated. I'm thinking "show interface" I'm also thinking that maybe there are static routes pointing out those ports, and someone somewhere is generating traffic destined for those ports. Maybe the author of the original post could supply some more specific information - such as extensive outputs from the "show run" ?? for those unfamiliar with the higer end boxes, hyrid mode refers to running Cat OS and and IOS on the same box. The lower end boxes - 2950, 3550, and 4xxx with sup 3 or better, run IOS native mode. cat 4xxx with the sup 2 run Cat OS mode. 65xx without the MSFC card run Cat OS mode. Add the MSCF card, and you have hybrid mode. unless somethng has changed recently, you cannot run a 65xx in native IOS mode only - it has to be an L2 box alone, or a hybrid box, running IOS and Cat OS. > > Priscilla > > Sam Sneed wrote: > > > > I'm not sure what you mean by hybrid mode.
