I'm only sending one port-channel also this one I picked has errors but not nearly as much as others we have. If I turn the mode to on and a cable gets broke or unplugged the channel comes down. We've experinced that and do not want this to happen. Everything is set to desirable for this very reason.

Hi Ted

I suspect that you could be over-subscribing your interface buffers which could cause the drops you are seeing. This also entirely depends on what modules you are using. I would possibly try and change your port channel so the interfaces are not in sequence, as in: use g0/1 and g0/9 and g0/17. Check what modules you are using and check the over-suscribed rates in relation to the Sups.

S

I checked counters per module. Can you tell me the best way to check oversubscription on my modules? They are WS4548's and am running a cisco Cat6k-MSFC2 (R7000) IOS (tm) MSFC2 Software (C6MSFC2-JSV-M), Version 12.1(11b)E4, EARLY DEPLOYMENT RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Here is some information to check out.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps2710/ps5494/product_data_sheet0900aecd802109ea.html

WS-X4548-GB-RJ45

• 48 ports

• 10/100/1000 module (RJ-45)

• Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(19)EW or later

• IEEE 802.3x flow control

• Bandwidth is allocated across six 8-port groups, providing 1 Gbps per port group

• More power efficient and more cost effective than the WS-X4448-GB-RJ45

• Enterprise and commercial: designed for gigabit to the desktop

Note where it says Bandwidth is allocated across six 8-port groups, providing 1 Gbps per port group

You will have to split up the ports in your etherchannel so they are not all in the same group. Also make sure the group of ports does not have any other ether channels that would take up the bandwidth. Remember just because they are Gigabit ports does not mean they can all run at a Gigabit at the same time. I had to do this in our enviroment and it solved some of our problems.

Hope this helps,

Mike

On the CGESM, I dont think autoneg works properly on the GLC-T= module. SO setting both sides to Speed 1000, duplex full. will probably fix your problem.
