Too large frames/Outdiscards errors

Hi !

We have a problem with switch connected to an IBM Chassis (model : WS-CBS3012-IBM-I).
Several links seem to flap from time to time and we have dropped packets (Outdiscards) :


XXX#show interfaces counters errors
Port        Align-Err     FCS-Err    Xmit-Err     Rcv-Err  UnderSize  OutDiscards
Gi0/7               0           0           0           0          0        43983

The interface is Full-1000 and is configured :

interface GigabitEthernet0/7
 description "SRV-001-PRD-VM1 - VMNic0"
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 11,12,99
 switchport mode trunk
 link state group 1 downstream
end


For the "too large frames", I have already read the post : https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11034901/too-large-frames-what-does-mean-performance, so, I think it's not serious.
But I don't know why some packets are dropped because the configuration seems good ...
Can you help me please ?

Thank you in advance !
