Hi all,
I have the following problem. A Linux box configured as a bridge. One
interface connects to the router via a crossover cable, the other
connects to a switch via the cable that used to go to the router.
Now I get the following:
[root@localhost net]# ifconfig eth3
eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:2D:07:61:5D
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1969134 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:176459
TX packets:2186662 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:492595115 (469.7 Mb) TX bytes:579725462 (552.8 Mb)
Interrupt:17
eth3 is the interface that connects to the switch. As you can see, 1 in
10 rx packets are framing errors.
What are possible causes for this? The cable is a constant, so is not
likely to cause problems, so what else can possibly cause such a high
number of frame errors?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin
What speed and driver?
sky 2 driver, hardcoded for 100Mbps full duplex.
