Hi,

Check out the below explanation for CRC error and farme error and few useful links to trouble shoot these type of problems

  The CRC error rate is 1.75915% (greater than 1 in a million packets),
  and the collision rate is less than 0.1%.
  This can indicate excessive noise or transmission problems on the LAN or the LAN
  bus itself. A high number of CRCs is usually the result of collisions or a station
  transmitting bad data.

  TRY THIS: Check cables to determine whether any are damaged. If 100BaseTX is being
  used, ensure Category 5 cabling is being used and not another type, such as Category
  3.

  There have been 1599 'frame errors' reported.

  This indicates the number of packets received incorrectly, having a CRC error

  and a non-integer number of octets. On a LAN, this is usually the result of collisions

  or a malfunctioning Ethernet device.

TRY THIS: Monitor the level of frame errors over time. If they are increasing,

  try swapping interfaces and or ports to identify the problem.

in simple language CRC and input errors refer to Layer 1 issues could be a faulty port or cable.

Check then first.

regards,

Varun

Let's not be too simple.......

The causes for CRC can be related to layer 2 too.

have a look here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/internetworking/troubleshooting/guide/tr1904.html

nice doc to begin with

However try below the interface :

switchport nonegotiate

When I turn off my CISCO3825 IPBase router, it shows

Router# CRC Error

Can you please help me to solve this.

My router has 1GB D/256CF.

If possible, connect a known good device (maybe a laptop or something) to the wall/floor port that is in question. If the CRC and input errors disappear then the fault is with the NIC on the end device. If CRCs and Input errors are still being generated then there is a fault with the cabling, patch panel or wall socket.

If your switch supports TDR, use the "test cable-diagnostics tdr" command.

Clear the interface counters and see if they are still incrementing.

I have responded to your thread (HERE).

Thank you SIR,

Every day I am getting more errors and every 10 minutes I was cleared the errors but i don't know the exact solution because I am alone. Every minute I am searching for resolution, and I have one doubt about RJ45, is it ok for router to switch connection?

Please find the below details

1.sh run interface G0/1

Two things I would check if I see the CRC/frame errors:

1.Both the end of the interfaces should have same speed and duplex settings.

2. Check the phyisical cabling , and are the two switches in the same room in DC or different to find out if there

is any media convertor in between . If yes then check the media convertor.

Note Remember- Most of the media convertor does not support fixed speed settings and people dont prefer doing that .so better to make it auto auto( speed and duplex). also check the other end of this interface , can you see the same errors ,

clear the counters and check again.

good luck!
