Output drops Cisco interface

Hello,

on my Cisco WS-C2960-48TC-S i have 82933027 output drops on the access interface.

this interface is connected to only one computer, does someone have an idea how this is posible ??

Generally it's caused by sending packets to the interface faster than they can egress the interface.

 

On some switches, I think the 2960 being one of them, QoS being enabled on the switch, in a default configuration, often results in premature packet dropping due to default buffer reservations for QoS egress queues.

Hello joseph thank you for your answer.

I have checked the global configuration but no QOS settings are enabled.

The output drops are not really high but i still have them.

This morning i reset the counters and now i have again "output drops: 2956"

it is just an interface connected to a computer so it is strange that it has the output drops.

What's the output packet count (that corresponds to your drop count)?

could you explain a little bit more, where can i find the output count ?

There are several bugs I've read where the output drops are "cosmetic". Can you specify what IOS you are running?

Hello Leo thank you for your answer.

The iios version is: c2960-lanlitek9-mz.122-50.SE5.bin

Michael, 

 

Upgrade your IOS to 12.2(55)SE8.

the thing is, the output drops just occur sometimes. 

like now it did not have any additional output drops for 1 hour, the count stays at 2956 so it is sometimes.
