Late collisions and interface reset

wcraft.htawork

Level 1

I'm getting a lot of late collisions on the WAN side of my router (Cisco 2801.) In the log I am also seeing errors every few minutes where that interface will come back up. I am having throughput issues with this router and I think this may be a duplex mismatch. Does this sound right?

Can you provide the "show interface" output of the interfaces on both side of the WAN link ?

that is correct Late Collisions are generally caused by a duplex mismatch

Your WAN FE interface is working as 100MB half duplex, that's why you are getting a lots of late collisions and output errors. Please check the duplex part on the other side and match it. It should be fine after the settings are same at both the sides.

Looks like fa0/1 is 100mbps half duplex - You might check the other end and you'll most likely find it at full duplex.

Hope this helps

Yep - was able to force it to Full Duplex/100Mbps and the late collisions have stopped. Thanks for the feedback.
