Input errors between Cisco 6500 series switches

karthi.sd
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

Am getting input errors in Cisco switch 6509 and is connected to another swicth 6513.When i tried to ping each other , sometimes there is no packet loss but am getting packet loss and input errors mostly.

Confiration is something like this:

6509:

Interface vlan xxx

ip address x x x x 255.255.252.0

exit

int gig x/x

swithport

swicthport mode trunk

switchport trunk encapsulation isl

exit

6513:

Interface vlan xxx

ip address x x x x 255.255.252.0

exit

int gig x/x

swithport

swicthport mode trunk

switchport trunk encapsulation isl

exit

Hopefully expecting for your replies....

regards

Hello Karthi,

to get better help you should post

sh int gix/x

sh int giy/y

from both devices to see the type of errors and to see the flowcontrol settings.

a sh module from both devices can also help, performance changes in different linecards.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

here is the sh int output..

hi,

pls share your valuable suggestions...

regards

I'd replace your Fiber uplinks and GBIC/SFP.

Also make sure the rest of your trunked switches are isl or change everything to dot1q

Hello Karthi,

I think that Glen has pointed out the possible reason:

the SFP are LH

you have most errors of type frame: the two devices can be too near to each other and so the receiver of one side can find difficult to receive correctly (the signal is too strong).

Hope to help

How far a run is it and what type of fiber. If its a short MM run then you may need mode conditoning patch cables.
