Hello all,
We are having a cosmetic problem with a etherchannel connecting 2 Cisco 6500, via 2 gigabit interfaces in each side. The link is okay and is it working fine, is more a cosmetic problem. The devices are directly connected and when we do a "show interfaces" we get the following:
SWITCH 1 SWITCH 2
_ Port channel X _ Port channel Y
4459995 packets input 5038640 packets input
2396802 packets output 9470937 packets output
_ Interface Giga X/1 _ Interface Giga Y/1
3980467 packets input 1930376 packets input
1938976 packets output 3963757 packets output
_ Interface Giga X/2 _ Interface Giga Y/2
7173942 packets input 3989266 packets input
3989205 packets output 7172782 packets output
As you can see there the packet counters in the interfaces that form the Etherchannel are alright:
The total of the input packets in SWITCH 1 interface X/1 and X/2 are similar to the total of the output packets in SWITCH 2 interface Y/1 and Y/2 and the total of the output packets in SWITCH 1 interface X/1 and X/2 are similar to the total of the input packets in SWITCH 2 interface Y/1 and Y/2.
The problem is with Port-channel counters:
_ First, the input/output packets is not the total of its interfaces input/output packets
_ Second one, input/putput packets of Port-channel X of SWITCH 1 does not coincide with output/input packets of Port-channel Y of SWITCH 2
Does anyone know if this is normal and why?
Thank you very much

Are there drops or errors on the EC's? Can you attach the "show interface po x/x" and "show interface po x/x summary"?
Maybe that will shed some light on the issue.
