Hi Rob, I found this on the knowledgebase (always a good starting point :) ) Title:
I/G/C/B-Series with Failing Ports and "timeout draining packets" Error Messages Article ID: 13852 ________________________________ Products I-Series, firmware 6.42.02.0006 through 6.42.08.0007 G-Series, firmware 6.42.02.0006 through 6.42.08.0007 C5-Series, firmware 6.42.02.0006 through 6.42.08.0007 C3-Series, firmware 6.42.02.0006 through 6.42.08.0007 B5-Series, firmware 6.42.02.0006 through 6.42.08.0007 B3-Series, firmware 6.42.02.0006 through 6.42.08.0007 Symptoms One or more "timeout draining packets" errors seen in the current.log (5487<https://cp-enterasys.kb.net/articleRedirect.aspx?aid=5487|>); for example: <160>Apr 5 17:31:42 0.0.0.0-8 SIM[86228792]: broad_hpc_drv.c(2689) 219 %% ERROR: port 0:ge5: timeout draining packets (2377 cells remain) Corresponding ports fail to pass traffic, though the port is up and its status otherwise looks fine. Note: This condition is typically detected by the txqmonitor function, which may then issue messages including "... Tx queue for interface <port#> is in stalled mode". These txqmonitor messages can be helpful here because they report the affected port number in the conventional format. Solution/Workaround Upgrade to firmware 6.42.09.0005 or higher. Release notes<http://extranet.enterasys.com/downloads/> state, in the 'Firmware Changes and Enhancements' section: 15297 Addressed an issue associated with the switch port state machine which could potentially cause device ports to lockup. Pre-upgrade workaround: Reboot the switch.

One of the switches locked up night before last. A "Show Support" revealed this error: SIM[258809704]: BROAD_HPC_DRV.C(2689) 12 %% ERROR %% PORT 1:GE6: TIMEOUT DRAINING PACKETS (707 CELLS REMAIN) There are several of these entries. The number in brackets behind the SIM[xxxxxxxx] change, as do the (XXX cells remain). Any ideas as to what this could be?
