Dropped Packet on 6506 switch [7:63053]

2003-02-14 Thread Sam Sneed
Hello, I'm seeing strange things on a 6500 switch. I see dropped pakets and int errors on interfaces with no servers plugged in. These are of signifcant amounts and I believe tis causing problems.We're talking about 800,000 in 24 hours. Does anyone have any idea on what this happens on INT that ar

Not real clear on your description. You see dropped packets on interfaces with nothing plugged in!? Since you refer to the 6500 as a switch I assume your running hybrid mode. You also mention there is an MSFC. I ASSume again that your seeing drops on the L2 interface but with nothing plugge

I'm not sure what you mean by hybrid mode. I have the sh ver, sh mod, sh ver for MSFC and below. I have nothing plugged into at leat 3 ports which still report dropped packets. 800,000 daily. Whats strange is that the 800,000 is almost the same on all 3 ports. I have disabled them since then but w

If the port is no connected why would it attempt to send unicasts packets through it? Passing packets to a switchport in the diconnected state would not make sense. I imagine that the logic built into the siwtch would not do this. I have other switches, Extreme networks, that do not register any d

There are no static routes to these ports. I guess I am in Hybrid mode. I need to enter session 15 command to connect to router module. Then its IOS interface. The dropped packets don't appear when doing sh int on router. I'm starting to wonder if it could be a bad card. ""The Long and Winding

it's real hard to offer any suggestions without knowing more. if you could provide a sanitized show run, that might help. also, can you provide the show int that is indicating dropped packets. I did not see anyting in your previous offerings. ""Sam Sneed"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">ne

Yes you are running hybrid. We still haven't seen the "show" whatever that displays all these dropped packets or I missed it. Dave Sam Sneed wrote: > There are no static routes to these ports. I guess I am in Hybrid mode. I > need to enter session 15 command to connect to router module. Then

hey, Dave, request for clarification whenever I run my config tools ( either CCO or NetFormX, which validates against Cisco's config server anyway ), the requirement is CAT OS plus IOS. I can go CAT OS only, but I cannot get a validation using IOS only. So is that an error in the validation engi
