Output drops on 3560

Level 2

Hi,

We have a 3560 connected via trunk to a 2950 (Both 10/100 ports), and we are seeing large amounts of output drops on the 3560 port - Ports were set to 100/FULL, now auto/auto(Negotiating to 100/FULL).

3560:

interface FastEthernet0/1
description Trunk-to-ESW01
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,11,12,35,103,104,106-108,112,113,115,120-123
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 156,158,206,472,473,475,478-488,590,591,957
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 970,1002-1005
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
mls qos trust dscp
storm-control broadcast level 20.00
storm-control action trap
no cdp enable
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
spanning-tree guard root

2950:

interface FastEthernet0/20
description trunk to esw02
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,11,12,35,68,103,104,106-108,112,113,115
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 120-123,156,158,206,472,473,475,478-488,590
switchport trunk allowed vlan add 591,957,970
switchport mode trunk
mls qos trust dscp
storm-control broadcast level 20.00
storm-control action trap
no cdp enable
spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
spanning-tree guard root

And the drops:

Next thing we would try is to replace the eth cable(It is in remote location, so is difficult) - Other than cable, what else can we test to try and identify the cause of the drops?

Thanks in advance.

MTU mis-match?

Ah - Well done!

So miss-match in mtu would cause output drops?

As the 2950 only supports 1530byte mtu, is our only option to drop the 3560's mtu to match this?

I'd try to match the MTU of both sides and try again.

As per-interface mtu setting is not supported, is there anyway workaround(mtu discovery?) - As preference would not to have to drop system mtu to match 2950+reboot switch.

Thanks.
