Drops on interface and Tx ,Rx is too much

Hi All,

           I have configured all of my E1 lines into multilinks . we do often video-conferencing once a week , in that case there are lot of drops on interfaces and tx , rx are also too  much. but i have checked that bandwidth consumption doesnt exceeds 50 % in any case.sometimes tx goes upto 170/255. So plz help me to sort out this issue.

thanx and regards,

Taran

Hi Taran,

Please share the show interface output for the interface.

Hi Ganesh,

                     I m posting conf of one of the interface , but on this int tx and rx may be less beacause video-conf is not in use.I hope it wll help u to sort out the problem.

Hi Taran,

As per the logs rx and tx load are getting lower it can be possible packets are getting dropped and have you checked the bandwidth utilization when ever video conferning happens and what is the total bandwidth at your links.

Ganesh.H

Hi Taran,

I would advise you to check all the E1 links which are bundled in multilink as this problem can be related to links.

Yoo can check all the links one by one by removing them from the multilink.

Hi ,

           I m posting the output of both serial int binded with Multilink.Video-Conferencing is not taking too much band because its connected at 384 kbps. By adding other data like FTP,HTTP etc it never exceeded than 1 mbps . so i dont think there is too much load on int.

Taran,

As per the interface logs following assumption can be made as listed below:-


This interface has had 994 interface resets.

This may occur if packets queued for transmission were not sent within several  seconds. This may be caused by a malfunctioning modem which is not supplying the  transmit clock signal, or by a cable problem. If the IOS device notices that  the Carrier Detect signal of the serial interface is up, but the line protocol  is down, it periodically resets the interface in an effort to restart it. Interface  resets may also occur when an interface is looped or shutdown.
 
TRY THIS: Use the 'clear counters Serial4/2:0' command to ensure current information  is being displayed.

This interface has received a high number (0.0043% of input packets)  of packets with incorrect CRCs (corrupted data).

Problems that may cause this symptom include:

  a. Noisy serial line
  b. Serial cable is too long or cable from the CSU/DSU to the router is not
     shielded
  c. SCTE mode is not enabled on the DSU
  d. The CSU line clock is incorrectly configured
  e. A Ones density problem on the link (incorrect framing or coding
     specification), exists
  f. Verify the queuing strategies are the same on both ends of the link.

  TRY THIS:


  1. Ensure that the line is clean enough for transmission requirements. Shield the cable if necessary.
  2. Make sure the cable is within the recommended length (no more than 50 feet [15.24 meters], or 25 feet [7.62 meters] for the link).
  3. Ensure that all devices are properly configured for a common line clock.Set serial clock transmit external (SCTE) on the local and remote DSU.  If you are attempting serial connections at speeds greater than 64 kbps witha CSU/DSU that does not support (SCTE), you might have to invert the transmit clock on the router. Inverting the transmit clock compensatesfor phase-shifts between the data and clock signals.
  4. Make certain that the local and remote CSU/DSU are configured for thesame framing and coding scheme as that used by the leased-line or other carrier service (for example, ESF/B8ZS).

  5. Contact your leased-line or other carrier service and have them perform integrity tests on the line.

Hope to help

Hi Ganesh,

                    As I told u this problem only occurs when VCON going on . Now VCON is over and there is no load on interface after I cleared the counters.CRC is also zero now , this problem is same for all other 20 sites.

thanx and regards,

Taran

This interface has received a high number (0.0043% of input packets)

That is not an high number, actually is negligible!
