Hello, 

We have a huge discard rates (45%) in all port channels,  

ONATTDISTSW01#show int po11 | i Input queue:
Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 16209723

ONATTDISTSW01#show int po12 | i Input queue:
Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 16543210


ONATTDISTSW01#show int po13 | i Input queue:
Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 59358 <-- reset yesterday


ONATTDISTSW01#show int po14 | i Input queue:
Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 15475790


ONATTDISTSW01#show int po15 | i Input queue:
Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 16199695


ONATTDISTSW01#show int po16 | i Input queue:
Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 13906375


ONATTDISTSW01#show int po17 | i Input queue:
Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 302878  <-- reset yesterday


Do you have any solution for this

do you have output errors too or any other errors under the physical interfaces in the portchannels

what version of ios are you on

what do the physical interfaces look like for drops , are the drops on one or all physical interfaces

Do you have output errors too or any other errors under the physical interfaces in the portchannels

yes,

What version of IOS are you on

   Model                SW Version           SW Image 

WS-C3850-48T       03.06.06E         cat3k_caa-universalk9

what do the physical interfaces look like for drops , are the drops on one or all physical interfaces

 the error is not balanced at the both interfaces

ONATTDISTSW01#show int po11 | i Input queue:

  Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 392676

 

ONATTDISTSW01#show int gigabitEthernet 1/0/42 | i Input queue:

  Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0

 

ONATTDISTSW01#show int gigabitEthernet 2/0/42 | i Input queue:

  Input queue: 0/2000/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 392676

try change the load balance so it starts using both inks , we use src-dst-port works well but you should have multiple options , first look I would think your over utilizing one side of the po causing it to get hammered resulting in output drops , if you balance the traffic out it may slow down the drops

also as Leo sad are you using qos , it may be worth setting it on the switch , is it a user access switch

Load Balance options

(config)#port-channel load-balance ?
  dst-ip                 Dst IP Addr
  dst-mac                Dst Mac Addr
  dst-mixed-ip-port      Dst IP Addr and TCP/UDP Port
  dst-port               Dst TCP/UDP Port
  extended               Extended Load Balance Methods
  src-dst-ip             Src XOR Dst IP Addr
  src-dst-mac            Src XOR Dst Mac Addr
  src-dst-mixed-ip-port  Src XOR Dst IP Addr and TCP/UDP Port
  src-dst-port           Src XOR Dst TCP/UDP Port
  src-ip                 Src IP Addr
  src-mac                Src Mac Addr
  src-mixed-ip-port      Src IP Addr and TCP/UDP Port
  src-port               Src TCP/UDP Port

theres also a similar bug if the output and total counters are incrementing together but looking at your last post there not but maybe something to keep an eye on ,I don't see 3.6.6 in it though

Check your QoS settings.  If it doesn't have any then you'll need one.

Hi,

have a look at this document: Catalyst 3850: Troubleshooting Output drops

On our c3850's we saw also massive drops and increasing the queue-softmax-multiplier worked really well.
