Hi!
Sorry to bother some of you since this is not linux-related,
but since I think there are many network experts present here
I thought I'll give it a try:
On our Cisco PIX firewall we connected a HP-UX machine directly
over a cross over cable to one interface on the
four-interface card. We already had some trouble with a sun but
resolved this issue by using a switch inbetween (very cost
intensive, but it works now). Now we hope that we can avoid using
a switch for the HP-UX machine.
The interface statistics for the PIX interface is as follows:
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit full duplex
2755129 packets input, 3672782709 bytes, 0 no buffer
Received 189495 broadcasts, 3895 runts, 0 giants
68286 input errors, 34344 CRC, 33942 frame, 0 overrun, 34344 ignored, 0 abort
3007361 packets output, 3686669839 bytes, 0 underruns, 0 unicast rpf drops
0 output errors, 0 collisions, 95 interface resets
0 babbles, 0 late collisions, 0 deferred
0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier
What makes me courious is that there are as many CRC errors as frame
errors. Is this a specific symptom which maps directly to a specific
problem or misconfiguration?
We thought that maybe there is a full/half duplex problem but these
seem to be set correctly, if we set the pix interface to auto it
immediately switches to full duplex.
Any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance,
Walter
