crc error between 2950 and 3620 router

flockmaster
Level 1
Level 1

I have connected the 2950 to the 3620, and the running-config of 2950 below:

2950#show running-config

Building configuration...

Current configuration : 1279 bytes

!

version 12.1

no ip http server

!

line con 0

transport input none

line vty 0 4

end

And the 3620 router just set the interface ethernet0/3:

interface Ethernet0/3

ip address 192.168.10.254 255.255.255.0

half-duplex

I have connected the f0/1 of switch to the eth0/3 of router. There are many crc errors between the switch and router, and try to change the duplex and speed rate, but it didn't take effect. I ensure the cable is good.

Thank you for your suggestion!

Trying changing the speed of from 10 to 100 and also the duplex as the reason why u add a hub,the problem disappear is because of this.

OR

can try to check the link below, cause if the above is not the cause,it could be the field notice below:

Hi

Duplex and Speed settings depends on the interface type you use on both the sides.

In your case Cisco 3620 is currently having a ethernet port which can support half-duplex and 10Mbps.

Are you seeing this CRC error only in the router side or on both the sides ? do remember to clear the counters on both the ends before start monitoring the same..

do you have any free fastethernet port available in 3620 so that you can patch up this connection to that port and check ?

Also are you seeing only CRC or again input errors too ?

regds

First, thank you for your notice of my problems.

Yes. When I ping from both directions, I'm seeing the CRC error only in the switch. And I have cleared the counters in both ends.

And I try to connect to another port of the router, It exists the same problem.

I'm seeing both of the input errors and CRC errors.

The interface of f0/1 (in switch)is following:

Hi Friend,

Check this

reliability 219/255 <----------

Reliability of the link is less, that's why when u ping or send traffic you are getting a lot of CRC's.

This indicates some problem with the media.Please replace the cable with some other good known cable. Try to change the switchport as well.

HTH, Please rate if it does.

I think the reliability value is the result of the crc errors. And it is the same problem "Why are there some many crc error?"

I have changed many cables and many ports to connect, but it's the same problem.

And please notice that this problem is just existing when the switch is connected to the 3620 router. I'm sure that the switch, router and cable are all goot.

I think we can exclude the hardware problems and there are some strange problems between 3600 serial router and 2950 catalyst switch.

Hi,

What is the IOS you are running on the router. It could be the IOS issue or may be the hardware is faulty. Please paste a "show version" from your router.

Please try to upgrade the IOS on your router and see if that makes any diffrence.Once we come to the conclusion that software is not the issue we can think that it could be a hardware issue.

HTH, please rate if it does.

-amit singh

Hi:

CRC errors usually are related to physical problems

Please check cable category (for 10 Mb cat 3 is OK)

Check there are not an EMI source of interference.

Just in case try to change the cable and the switch port.

Hope it help. Rate helpfull posts.

Hi:

Did you change the port?

Did you change the link cable?

Same results?

Regards

Alberto Giorgi from spain.

Yes, I changed everything(port,cable, duplex, speed)I could.

And when i add a hub between the router and switch, it's will be ok, no crc error.

So, what's the problem?

Trying changing the speed of from 10 to 100 and also the duplex as the reason why u add a hub,the problem disappear is because of this.

Thank you, I think my problem is in it. My switch session number is in it.
