Hi,

I was facing a situation that the traffics were not forwarded from ACE to real servers.

All VIPs and Rservers were not PING-able from the ACE.

But, it was PIng-able from the L2 switch direct connected server.

We did failover from an active ACE to a standby ACE after getting 'show tech' off from the ACE .

After the failover,all the services got well.

We find something weird on ACE show tech.

Is there anyone know about the following error information.

The rbuf skip means the buffer got corrupted and the information it contains can't be trusted.

This check was recently added A2(2.3) with ddts CSCta54223: Add additional checking for CDE hardware issues

So, it sounds like a hardware issue with that blade.

The other counter is related to the length of the ip packet.

Normally the ip header length is 20 bytes...if you add options it can grow but must be padded so that the length is on an expected boundary.

This counter increment when a packet does not follow that rule.

Since the CDE seems to be corrupted, it could mess up the packets.

You should RMA that board.
