High rate of input errors on GE interface
2007-12-25 1:07:00
I'm running Solaris 8 on E3500 (8 x 400MHz cpu, 4GB
mem, two gigabit NICs).
The system is receiving data from about 20 external
sources 0.5-1.5 MByte/s each (12-20 MByte/s total)
using one gigabit interface, and then sending out
processed data using another gigabit interface.
The problem:
input interface is having very high rate of input
errors
# netstat -I ge0 1
gives 10 errors/s (mean value), while there is no
errors on the switch side (no negotiation problems)
nor on output interface (almoust the same data rate
but with one stream only).
It doesn't depend from NICs nor cables.
The system is not overloaded: load average is about
4.4
Is it a know problem of ge driver?
can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
thanks,
Vladimir.
